Well, I don't mind using the rsync script, it's just that it's so slow. I'd love to use my script to "keep up" the backup array, which only takes a couple of hours and is acceptable. But starting with a blank backup array, it takes weeks to get the backup array caught up, which isn't realistically possible. 

What I need isn't really an equivalent "zfs send" -- my script can do that. As I remember, zfs send was pretty slow too in a scenario like this. What I need is to be able to clone a btrfs array somehow -- dd would be nice, but as I said I end up with the identical UUID problem. Is there a way to change the UUID of an array?
