I have successfully setup a FreeNAS 9.10.2 box in my main office and am taking daily snapshots. I am replicating those offsite to another FreeNAS 9.10.2 box. I am testing DR so I understand what would need to do if disaster strikes - before moving us to production use.
I did a test of destroying (removing) the boot disk, and then freshly installing FreeNAS on new disks, and restoring my configuration from the .db file I have replicated to my remote location.
The next test I would like to do is destroying (removing) the storage disks in my main office, and then restore the data from my replicated snapshots at my remote office.
I have looked up many articles, but I am still not entirely clear on what the process should be.
Once I have installed working storage disk(s) into my main office FreeNAS, what should I do next to restore the data from my remote location?
I have 51 datasets. Would I have to recreate them all in my main location, and then simply clone and copy the file contents from the remote location to my main office? or is there a simpler command that could be used to send everything back to my main office?
Thank you!!!
