But are you then also supposed to be able send incremental snapshots to
a third pool from the pool that you just cloned?

I did the zpool replace now over night, and it did not remove the old
device yet, as it found cksum errors on the pool:

root@coyote:~# zpool status -v
  pool: tank
 state: ONLINE
status: One or more devices has experienced an error resulting in data
        corruption.  Applications may be affected.
action: Restore the file in question if possible.  Otherwise restore the
        entire pool from backup.

Interestingly, these only seem to affect the snapshot, and I'm now
wondering if that is the problem why the backup pool did not accept the
next incremental snapshot from the new pool.

How does the receiving pool known that it has the correct snapshot to
store an incremental one anyway? Is there a toplevel checksum, like for
git commits? How can I display and compare that?

Cheers,
Uli
