How to copy zfs data

I have two N4F servers.
One is failing.

Some of my datasets are formatted for vmware.
Some of the datasets are formatted for Windows shares.

Is there a method to copy either the pool, datasets or other from one N4F server to another at the command line?

Thanks

i am not sure what you mean by formatted for vmware or windows share. there is no such thing.

i am assuming that you have zfs from the term dataset.

there is the zfs send command.

if you dont have zfs there is rsync

Zfs send and receive is how I transfer and backup. But it requires you to have auto ssh key login from the failing box to the non failing box

I'm pretty sure it works with password authorisation as well.
