What I did was do a zfs snapshot, "zfs send" + compress the resulting
stream, and store the resulting file. It's actually better than dd
because "zfs send" only send used blocks, while dd sends everything.

There's a long discussion about whether or not "zfs send" should be
used as a backup method, but it's working great for me so far.
