ZFS snapshot query

I saved one of my zfs snapshot on the remote machine with following command. And now i want to restore the same snapshot to original server how can i receive it on the original server from backup server.



Code:
 #zfs send rpool/ROOT/sol10_patched@preConfig | ssh x.x.x.x zfs receive emcpool1/sol10_patched@preConfig

On the remote server

Code:
#zfs list -r emcpool1/sol10_patched
NAME                               USED  AVAIL  REFER  MOUNTPOINT
emcpool1/sol10_patched            5.79G   124G  5.79G  none
emcpool1/sol10_patched@preConfig      0      -  5.79G  -

I tried restoring it from the backup server but got error

Code:
#zfs send emcpool1/sol10_patched@preConfig | ssh 10.63.25.218 rpool/ROOT/sol10_patched@preConfig
Password:
bash: rpool/ROOT/sol10_patched@preConfig: No such file or directory

You are (at least) missing to specify a command on the receive side.
Code:
# zfs send emcpool1/sol10_patched@preConfig | ssh 10.63.25.218 zfs receive rpool/ROOT/sol10_patched@preConfig
