Generate DA backups on non DA server

[sysdev]

Is there a supported way of generating a ready-to-import DA admin level backup, from a rsync's directory structure on an different, non da server in a closed private lan?

I already rsync all users on vm's to a zfs backup pool.
And I only need a DA admin backup if I need to restore a user.

So I'd like to skip all that daily admin backup generating (and eating ssd's, cpucycles, netio, snapshot space ) and only to that when things go wrong and I need to restore a user. If a user needs his account restored, it would be great to go the backupserver, mount the snapshot of the required day and generate a DA backup from the data in my snapshot, upload it to the vm and kick of the DA restore.

so maybe easier to make incremental backups of user`s home-dirs and additional small full DA backups with excluded domains data.

Yes, that is an option we already use, mainly for large accounts. Well... at least when we notice someone becoming a 'large account'.
(Mental note: Maybe I should default that and shut up)

But... if it could be skipped all together, still would be nice.
