No. For most people, that's not really practical. Where would you export a 1 PB pool? :-)
CephFS has some nice features that could make a traditional filesystem backup much more efficient. It rolls the size and last-modified attributes up the directory tree. If the backup client understood that feature, it would make delta backups much faster to calculate.
