I was hoping for easy backup via zfs send as well, but turns out it’s not so easy atm.
IncusOS does not give you shell access, you have to figure out IncusOS ways to do things via their CLI/API. I haven’t found an easy way to do incremental backup of the whole system yet. You can backup individual instances/volumes via incus export (which seems to use zfs send under the hood), but not the whole thing.
I have mixed feelings about their decision not to give you shell access. Guess those who want flexibility can always just install Incus on top of any Linux they like, but it would be nice to have an escape hatch for when IncusOS gives you almost everything you want…
