I'm replicating data using replication tasks and trying to figure out why data in one dataset is invisible. I'm only having an issue with one dataset and all other datasets I replicate I can view through a windows share in WIndows Explorer or in WinSCP.
The dataset I'm having a problem with is a backup of a Windows 2012R2 server virtual machine that is hosted on a Windows 2016 Server. The backup is created from the Windows 2016 server using Windows Server Backup and is being saved to a windows share on the Freenas Server. I created a dataset on the Freenas Server for the backup file. I can view the backup files in Windows Explorer on the Freenas Server so that is working as expected.
When I perform the replication task to move the dataset to an offsite Freenas Server I cannot view the backup file in either Windows Explorer when I create an SMB share or WinSCP. If I use the shell function on the Freenas Server and through the command line I can find the file under the dataset /mnt/backpool01.
I have also created a clone of the dataset and it also is not visible via an SMB share or in WinSCP. The total dataset is about 176GB. The snapshots are showing up on the remote Freenas Server so the data is there just cannot figure out why I cannot view using Windows Explorer or WinSCP as I can view other replicated data from the same machine on the remote machine without issue.
Any suggestions or answers as to why this is occurring would be appreciated as am concerned might not be able to recover the file properly if I need to use the backup.
