I am currently in the process of doing this in two steps:

1. Moving the cpool to a partition with LVM, so as to be able to make snapshot 
binary backups in future.

2. Copying the snapshot over the network to a backup server.

I'll blog it soon and post here.  In short, the fastest way to duplicate your 
pool is: dd if=/dev/partition1 of=/dev/partition2
