-I'll add some tips when the issues start to get in on github. :)
+**Some common errors while using zfs encryption:**
+
+```
+cannot receive incremental stream: kernel modules must be upgraded to receive this stream.
+```
+
+This happens if you forget to use --encrypt, while the target datasets are already encrypted. (Very strange error message indeed)
+
+
+## Transfer buffering, compression and rate limiting.
+
+If you're transferring over a slow link it might be useful to use `--compress=zstd-fast`. This will compress the data before sending, so it uses less bandwidth. An alternative to this is to use --zfs-compressed: This will transfer blocks that already have compression intact. (--compress will usually compress much better but uses much more resources. --zfs-compressed uses the least resources, but can be a disadvantage if you want to use a different compression method on the target.)
+
+You can also limit the datarate by using the `--rate` option.
+
+The `--buffer` option might also help since it acts as an IO buffer: zfs send can vary wildly between completely idle and huge bursts of data. When zfs send is idle, the buffer will continue transferring data over the slow link.
+
+It's also possible to add custom send or receive pipes with `--send-pipe` and `--recv-pipe`.
+
+These options all work together and the buffer on the receiving side is only added if appropriate. When all options are active:
+
+#### On the sending side:
+
+zfs send -> send buffer -> custom send pipes -> compression -> transfer rate limiter
+
+#### On the receiving side:
+decompression -> custom recv pipes -> buffer -> zfs recv
+
+## Running custom commands before and after snapshotting
+
+You can run commands before and after the snapshot to freeze databases to make the on for example to make the on-disk data consistent before snapshotting.
+
+The commands will be executed on the source side. Use the `--pre-snapshot-cmd` and `--post-snapshot-cmd` options for this.
+
+For example:
+
+```sh
+zfs-autobackup \
+    --pre-snapshot-cmd 'daemon -f jexec mysqljail1 mysql -s -e "set autocommit=0;flush logs;flush tables with read lock;\\! echo \$\$ > /tmp/mysql_lock.pid && sleep 60"' \
+    --pre-snapshot-cmd 'daemon -f jexec mysqljail2 mysql -s -e "set autocommit=0;flush logs;flush tables with read lock;\\! echo \$\$ > /tmp/mysql_lock.pid && sleep 60"' \
+    --post-snapshot-cmd 'pkill -F /jails/mysqljail1/tmp/mysql_lock.pid' \
+    --post-snapshot-cmd 'pkill -F /jails/mysqljail2/tmp/mysql_lock.pid' \
+    backupfs1
+```
+
+Failure handling during pre/post commands:
+
+* If a pre-command fails, zfs-autobackup will exit with an error. (after executing the post-commands)
+* All post-commands are always executed. Even if the pre-commands or actual snapshot have failed. This way you can be sure that stuff is always cleanedup and unfreezed.
