I currently have 3 Truenas Core Servers: A, B, and C.

Server A replicates 8TB of data (Push) to Server B & Server C replicates the same 8TB of data from Server A (Pull).

I’m going to replace Server A with new hardware, I have to remove the legacy GELI encryption by replicating all 8TB from Server C once Truenas Core is reinstalled with config newServer A. (Server B data will remain intact as my emergency “cold” standby)

Once the above upgrade is done, I will go back to my original replication scheme. Would newServer A end up replicating all 8TB to Servers B & C? Or would it just be any changes in data snapshots going forward? I figure all the data would be the same as no new snapshots would have been taken since before the upgrade.

Basically, asking if Truenas would recognize the same bits and only replicate the delta.
