Hello everyone!
So I'm trying to make Hot-Swap work for me: https://forums.freenas.org/index.ph...ap-degrades-another-volume.44469/#post-297822
Aside from what you can read in the former thread, Hot-Swapping seems to work well as long as I don't use static HDDs as a spare.
So what I am trying to do is this:
I want to be able to put a big HDD into the Hot-Swap at time A and have a full backup of a specific zpool on it by time B. A could be morning and B evening for example.
The backup should be easily reimportable if shit hits the fan, so maybe a mirrored zpool is the way to go.
Sadly I don't know how to dynamically let FreeNAS mirror a zpool onto another drive. Especially when this drive is plugged in and out while the server is running. (I'm not even sure how to do it manually via the WebGUI, aside from having this in an automated way, which is the goal.)
Do you have any idea how I could accomplish this use-case? Plug in a drive while server is running, have it backup the current state, then plug the drive out and put it somewhere safe.
Thanks in advance for reading and your recommendations!
