went from "fuck, root filesystem is corrupted and i can't import the zpool without the zfs module panicking" to "desktop is back to exactly how i left it this morning" within ~4 hours. such is the power of nixos+zfs snapshotting/sending

and hello, to our new homes
so right now, i have local backups going through zfs duplication. all the systems i have backing up are installed on zfs, and i back them up by periodically taking zfs snapshots and sending them over to my NAS' zfs pool.
what i would like to have, though, is offsite backups. i'm not really familiar with any good, cost-effective solutions for zfs send based backups, and the only thing i can really think of is spinning up a VM somewhere with some zfs-formatted storage, which likely will not be cheap. does anyone have any good recommendations for offsite zfs snapshot backups, or any potentially better strategies i could implement for offsite backups of zfs datasets?
