I actually solved this myself (woo hoo!) but thought it might be useful to leave this here in case someone else encounters the same problem.
I've finally got around to upgrading my PSU and whilst the box was open took the opportunity to install a SSD as a boot drive and retire the 2 USB sticks. Everything appeared to have worked perfectly following the steps below:
Turns out that restoring the configuration doesn't preserve the Public Key, which needs to be copied back across to the replication user (default root) on the PULL machine.
I've finally got around to upgrading my PSU and whilst the box was open took the opportunity to install a SSD as a boot drive and retire the 2 USB sticks. Everything appeared to have worked perfectly following the steps below:
- Save FreeNAS config
- Shutdown, replace PSU and attach SSD
- Prepare install USB and replace boot USB and reboot
- Install FreeNAS to SSD and shutdown
- Reboot, changing boot order in BIOS
- Upload config (which reboots)
Turns out that restoring the configuration doesn't preserve the Public Key, which needs to be copied back across to the replication user (default root) on the PULL machine.
- In Storage > Replication Tasks on PUSH click the View Public Key button and copy the contents
- On PULL in Accounts > Users modify the replication user (root) and paste the Public Key from PUSH into the SSH Public Key field
