How about sending a zfs stream to DR site, on some other pool beside rpool and then copying what you require from that ?
You should be able to create a user on both sides and delegate permission to create snapshots and send/receive it, even incremental.
Then copy the required files you want to keep.
Other options is to use zfs send to a file then scp / rsync the file with regular user to other machine and recv it on DR side from file into dummy zpool or zfs filesystem.
Depending on your Solaris release, from 11.2 there are also UAR archives from which you can backup entire system and restore it on the other side, but i have found standard zfs commands to be more straightforward.
As for root user, you can enable it and exchange ssh keys for it. As an extra layer of security a you can put PermitRootLogin without-password
Auth will only be possible with keys not passwords for root user.
Hope that helps

Peasant.
