I have been using ZFS for my network shares since 2013. I keep biannual snaps indefinitely and currently I have biannual snaps from 2014-current. At some point I migrated servers and forgot to send the oldest 2013 snap first. I just came across a copy of this 2013 ZFS filesystem on some old drives. Is there any way to append this early version of my ZFS filesystem as a snap? The goal here is to allow the previous versions tab in windows to access the old 2013 files.

Snaps are readonly so no way to append. You can only preserve them as normal files in a filesystem.
