I've been reading about how snapshots and replication works, and it seems like if I replicate to another FreeNAS system, I will eventually build up a snapshot history on the backup destination.
My question is, what if I've got a history (say a couple months) of automated snapshots, and I want to backup the whole thing now? Let's say I do the backup today to another system for the first time, and tomorrow not only does my pool evaporate somehow and I need to restore files, but I want to restore files as they were a month ago in one of the snapshots? Does replication or zfs send/receive handle this somehow?
Thank you!
