I have a TrueNAS CORE 13.0-U5.3 system. I also have two external USB drives on-hand from a previous setup, that I would like to use as backup drives. One stays local, and a replication task runs on a daily basis, the other is attached / imported as needed, the replication task is run, then the pool is exported and the disk taken offsite for safe keeping (returning about once a month for another backup).
At the moment, I can do the replication without issue, as long as nothing is encrypted. Because the backup drive(s) are easily portable, I'd like to encrypt them so that if something happens and they are stolen, they're somewhat safe.
The challenge I am running into is making the backup replication task / pool encrypted. If I encrypt the pool Offsite-Backup at creation, I can't replicate to it. If I leave the pool unencrypted at creation, I am unable to use encryption when I run the replication task.
Is there a way to ensure my external drive is encrypted when backing up to it using a replication task? I can't seem to find a definitive answer on how to do this either in the docs, or on the forums.
Thank you!
