[zfs-discuss] ZFS send/recv initial data load

[whitetr6]

Hi, I have a very limited amount of bandwidth between main office and a  
colocated rack of servers in a managed datacenter. My hope is to be able to  
zfs send/recv small incremental changes on a nightly basis as a secondary  
offsite backup strategy. My question is about the initial "seed" of the  
data. Is it possible to use a portable drive to copy the initial zfs  
filesystem(s) to the remote location and then make the subsequent  
incrementals over the network? If so, what would I need to do to make sure  
it is an exact copy? Thank you,
Mark
