| - For ZFS filesets, while the directory structure will mirror your SRC, the directories will appear empty. In each directory targeted by a DST directive there will be a hidden directory `.zfs`. This directory typically will not show up with `ls -la`, but you can `cd` into it. Inside the `.zfs` directory will be a `snapshots` directory, and in there is a directory for each snapshot by date and time. You can restore files from there by `cp`ing or `scp`ing them, or use a zfs send/recv to recover the fileset to another host. Verify the ZFS properties after you send/recv. |

also note, that the behaviour of .zfs depends on the snapdir property set on the fileset.
snapdir=hidden|visible
Controls whether the .zfs directory is hidden or visible in the root of
the file system as discussed in the Snapshots section. The default
value is hidden.
