Migrating/ restore pool from replication backup

[Dave-g08]

Hello,

I'm currently running 2 freeness boxes, one main box (VAULT) and one which is only used as a replication destination (TARDIS).

Like a few people, I underestimated my storage needs with my latest build. I plan to destroy the pool on main box, add disks, create a new pool and replicate back.

I have read various threads, including @depasseg's guide which was really helpful, thanks!

Unlike other threads I've read I did not replicate to the root of the pool, as i received the error 'Please move system dataset of remote side to another pool'. Instead I replicated to a sub-dataset (TARDIS/Backup). Would I just need to follow Depasseg's guide and rename TARDIS/Backup to TARDIS/VAULT, then replicate from that dataset? Is there anything I've overlooked?

Any thoughts/ tips would be much appreciated.

Would be helpful if you provided a link to the guide mentioned, for reference.

Thanks for the reply @Dice . This is the How To I've read: https://forums.freenas.org/index.ph...te-data-from-one-pool-to-a-bigger-pool.40519/ It assumes both Pools are in the same machine but I guess the principle is the same.
