If you have ZFS clients and server, what benefit does inserting borg provide on top of a continuous ZFS send from client -> server and server -> rsync.net? ZFS

If you have ZFS clients and server, what benefit does inserting borg provide on top of a continuous ZFS send from client -> server and server -> rsync.net? ZFS send can already do encryption, and ZFS supports compression. And snapshots automatically "dedups" files that haven't changed between snapshot points, which I'd guess saves more space than deduping literal duplicate files which are not very common ime.
I guess I just don't see what value borg provides if you're already using ZFS throughout.
- indiv0 5y agoI guess my concern is that I'd like the data to be encrypted at rsync.net, which means I'd need to use raw ZFS send. Would it be possible to mount/browse those raw datasets remotely to verify my backups? Or would I need to recv it all back to be able to test them?
