NAS data migration from 9.2.1.2 to 9.10

[funnyprinter]

I'm just setting up a new FreeNAS and was curious, whats the best/recommended way to transfer data from a old FreeNAS 9.2.1.2 to a new 9.10?

RSync?
ZFS Snapshot Replication?
Other?

depends, do you want to transfer the structure that you have setup (vdevs, etc) or do you just want to copy raw data (files)?

if the former, then replication
if the latter, then probably just setting up a share and transferring it over the LAN

Are you changing the pool structure? If not, just install the old pool in the new machine.
