ZFS Backing up ZFS on an NVMe drive

I have a simple desktop ZFS system on a single NVMe drive, and it has performed very well.
However, I need to physically move in the next few months, and I'd like advice on how to protect my system and data.
The current discussions on this forum seem to be about solving particular catastrophes, my need is for a general, reliable approach.
(BTW I did notice some fairly cheap stand alone NVMe duplication devices, and did ask the manufacturer for details but have had no replies. Do they duplicate at the bit level or rely on some knowledge of the file system?)
 
You can simply use zfs send/receive to another pool.
Or, just attach second device to existing, wait till it resilvering and move this new disk to another server. In this case you get a full (mirror) copy of your data.

Thanks, I looked for advice because I was more nervous than usual for external reasons I won't bore you with.
Thanks, very much appreciated.
