zfs discuss - Aug 2007 - is send/receive incremental

I''d like to send a backup of my filesystem offsite nightly using zfs
send/receive. Are those done incrementally so only changes move or would a
full copy get shuttled across everytime?

You can do it either way.  Eric Kustarz has a good explanation of how to
set up incremental send/receive on your laptop.  The description is on
his blog:

The technique he uses is applicable to any ZFS filesystem.
