I've looked around but I'm confused on exactly how to copy a volume that I need to start fresh on, to another external drive as a backup. I've had lots of issues with this pool, so I'm going to speed up my plan of replacing the drives with bigger ones, and replace what seems to be a common factor between all the issues I've had, my Cable Matters minisas to sata breakout cables. It might not even be those that are causing problems, but it wouldn't hurt to change them out.
But right now I just need to transfer my MediaVolume volume to my Backup1 volume, but I can't figure out how. I've tried following this guide without any luck.
This is what my zpool looks like. I thought I was going to be successful at one point, but it said the volume is busy. It might be from the resilvering, if it is, how do I stop the resilver so I can copy the volume over?
