tar or rsync will work for data, but you will lose any ACLs
The only tools I have found that work with zfs ACLs are the native zfs
tools (zfs send / recv), the native Solaris tools (cp, mv, etc.), and
Symantec NetBackup. I have not tried other commercial backup systems
as we already have NBU in house.
zfs send / recv is far, far faster than NBU.
