How to access/import/mount a zfs file [migrated]

$

I've asked my wordpress hosting provider to give me a snapshot of the server as I'm looking to migrate the site elsewhere. What I've been given is a .zfs file.

I was completely unaware of what zfs was before today. I've read some docs and every google search keeps coming back with zfs pools and volumes. I presume I need to mount this file as either a pool or volume but after trying to create zpool and using zpool import -d at the file it still says it can't find any pools.

In short, I'm out of my depth. All I want to do is get some files out of this thing. I can spin up either a temporary Ubuntu or Windows VM to get the job done so any guidance on whichever one is easier to work with and the tools/commands/process I need to browse this thing would be greatly appreciated, thank you.
