Made this a resource, as this has helped me a couple of times and is simple enough for inexperienced users to succeed.
I'd like to add a step-by-step guide that help me to do that. I it found over at lawrencesystems.com

I have attempted to make a backup of a dataset with zfs send. The backup BACKUP03/TANK/library appears to contain over 4 TB of data (just like the source dataset TANK/library). When I do an ls -la on /BACKUP03/TANK/library no files are shown.
Has the dataset BACKUP03/TANK/library been...
Setup is two Volumes.
Volume01 is 4 disks (2x2TB, 2x4TB) - 3.7TB in use
Volume02 is 2 disks (2x6TB)
I want to migrate the data from Volume01 to Volume02. Following the excellent directions I migrated the system data to the boot disk and then tried to do the snapshot and send/receive. Then I...
Is there a proper way to split a ZFS send datastream at destination so that it isn't one gigantic file but rather several files instead? I've attempted to do a zfs send to S3 recently but I discovered that there is a 5TB filesize limit for objects stored on S3.
Someone suggested I zfs send to...
Hello, I am unsure how I should formulate the zfs send zfs receive command to replicate all data from my main FreeNAS box(Freenas1) to a new temporary FreeNAS box(Freenas2).
Here's the information I believe is relevant:
Freenas1 has the pool name Volume1 with a primary dataset named Volume1...
I've had a FreeNAS box running for a few years now on some old consumer grade hardware and finally upgraded to something actually server class. I have about 7TB of data on my old box that I want to move over to my new box across a segregated VLAN on a 10GbE network. My storage looks like this...
I want to expand my main pool (TANK) from 4 disks to 8 disks in RAIDZ2 which if I understand correctly means that I need to destroy the pool and restore the data.
I created a backup by using the the automatic snapshot function and then a zfs send/receive from the command line. The following...
I'm building a system with two backup servers (A and B).
I'll have 10+ hosts pushing datasets to backup A via zfs send.
Backup A will then push all of those datasets to backup B using zfs send.
My question is - will backup A write everything that it receives via zfs receive into the...
Hello Forum,
Have a query regarding replication of a snapshot to a remote server that is not FreeNAS. The destination server is a Proxmox system which supports ZFS and I have a three disk ZFS RAID1 configured.
I have set up the automatic creation of snapshots for a couple of my volumes...
I'm not sure what it is that is wrong, but I have been unable to send snapshots from a FreeBSD 11 machine using zxfer, as a normal user, doing everything I can think of.
So far the things I have done to enable ZFS send receive as a regular user are the following:
Set vfs.usermount=1
Set every...
