I don't see why that couldn't work. The original question of striped
mirrors would be similar:
- zpool create tank mirror <dev1> <dev2> mirror <dev3> <dev4>
- {physically move <dev2> and <dev4> to new box}
- zpool detach <dev2>
- zpool detach <dev4>
On the new box:
- zpool import tank
- zpool detach <dev1>
- zpool detach <dev3>

That's an interesting idea. Of course, you could do that today by
splitting <dev3> into two 250gb partitions. An RFE to make it easier to
do these kind of 'sneakernet' backups might worth filing.
