copy to another volume

[mrbenza]

hi, I have a simple question .
I have two volumes , a and b ,
what is the most fast method to copy the contents of a to b ?

i think linke
cp -pR /mnt/A/ /mnt/B/ .. correct? Or the are more simply way to do this..

ZFS volumes? ZFS replication is the overall best option.

yes, it's ZFS..
replication? I've never used .. How can I do ?

 

[Ericloewe]

The manual has instructions.

Note that the destination server field can take localhost or 127.0.0.1 to send the replication to the same machine.

For replication, A and B need to be datasets. Are they?

They're separate pools, judging by the description, so they can only be.

Thanks all for the reply.. I need to rebuild the my Zpool (Tank), so i need to copy it into another zpool..
i've created a new zpool named backup
i've create new snapshot of entire dataset with recursive option activated activated
now > replication task > destination ok, replicate child ok, localhost ok.. ssh key ok.. task is up to date...
teorically i have the snapshot in /mnt/backup/ (the 2 zpool ) it's right?

and now??

very usefull post depasseg,
but maybe i prefer rsync..
rsync -av /mnt/Tank/A mnt/backup/B is everything I need for my pourpose..

Yes, it will take some time .. but I can wait
Thx all
