Tim, I really was trying to have a full copy of my pool onto a different pc, so I think that I have to use -R otherwise I would loose all the history (monthly and weekly and daily snapshots) of my data which is valuable for me.
That said, I fear that during a send -R the autosnapshot service should be disabled on the receiving end as well or it could start to change the incoming filesystem; am I right? And if it is so, it means that zfs send/receive cannot be used to really have backups of a heavily used system; apart from the autosnapshot service a user could be creating/deleting snapshot breaking the send/receive process. Anyway thanks a lot for you help!
