ZFS encryption: support for zfs send -w #25

Now that ZFS on linux supports encryption (even in outdated versions provided by distros), I think it would be advisable that simplesnap suported the zfs send -w/--raw command line option.

This raw send mode should however be configurable because a user might want an unencrypted backup of their encrypted datasets. Also, zfs send -w doesn’t work for incremental backups on previous backups created without this option.

You are right. Actually we need a more general way to set send options like -e, -c, etc. It will be a bit before I have more time to give to simplesnap, but it's on the list.
