Error when setting up replication Task

[bent98]

I was hoping someone can help here. I have two on prem TrueNAS-13.0-U6.1 servers.. I am trying to do a replication snap shot from main server to my newly built back up server. I configured the snapshot to run every day and have configured the replication task as a push over NetCat SSH. I am not using encryption and both servers are on the same network. Thanks to Constantin for trying to help me.


My Main server that will be pushing the data has 1 large pool and SMB shares to each folder on the drive. I do not have any data sets created on the pool other than the default ones (Jail, IO Cage) I tried pushing the whole pool and also tried just push a individual data set I created called "test" and each attempt resulted in the same error. I made sure I ran a snapshot task before running the replication task. Please advise what am I doing wrong?

Code:

I tried to use TrueNAS replication over GUI without much success due to my snapshot naming scheme zettarepl.py doesn't support.
However, when I did experiment with it, I only used the "Transport" section to be "SSH" only ( not "SSH+NETCAT").
I suspect this is your issue.

That’s a good point- first try with ssh only, verify it works and then add netcat, if possible. FWIW, I had no issues with my systems but my file structure was a bit different also.
