creating a good backup tool
and creating a good replication tool
might be incompatible goals, in terms of how you design the exception
handling. One bit flipped in a replication stream should cause the
entire receive to atomically roll back. One bit flipped in a backup,
no matter where, should be guaranteed to cause minimal data loss (same
as on a zpool itself).
