I have about 9tb of data to copy between two freenas boxes

What's the fastest way to copy my data between the two systems?

Currently i'm doing some copying by mounting both volumes on a mac and copying between the two on a GB network it's saying about 3 days.

Is there a faster way please?

Zfs replication is the way to go. Should take about a day over the network or even less of you put all the drives in the same box and do a local replication.

In the end I had a few issues setting up the replication and was running out of time to research futher. So I set up a few BTSYNC folders and let it do its thing. I will though look into replication in the next few weeks.
