Hi folks.
I have a second FreeNAS system used exclusively to backup my first through replication tasks.
I would like to create a manual recursive snapshot on the first and then delete all the other snapshots on the first. My goal is to free up all available space not used for existing files on the primary system.
Once that new manual snapshot is replicated, I would expect all the previously replicated snapshots to be deleted from the backup system (as they are now stale). I would further expect any files that were previously replicated, but are not also in the new manual snapshot, will be deleted from the backup system.
In other words, my backup system will contain only one replicated snapshot and only those files that are known in that snapshot.
Do I understand this correctly?
Thanks for your help and for the wonderfulness of FreeNAS.
