Personally, I use "zfs send | zfs receive" to an external disk.  Initially a
full image, and later incrementals.  This way, you've got the history of
what previous snapshots you've received on the external disk, it's instantly
available if you connect to a new computer, and you can restore either the
whole FS, or a single file if you want.
