Replicating multiple push datasets into one pull dataset

[tyjgHoVeqqNeAJUr]

My setup:

1. On machine push, I created volume "vol0"​

​

2a. On machine push, I created dataset vol0/a​

​

2b. On machine push, I created dataset vol0/b​

​

2c. On machine push, I created dataset vol0/c​

​

3. On machine pull, I created volume "vol1"​

​

4. On machine pull, I created dataset vol0/foo.​

​

4a. I set readonly=on for vol1/foo​

​

5. On machine push, I created three periodic snapshots for vol0/a, vol0/b, and vol0/c.​

​

5a. I did not check "recursive" for any of the tasks​

​

6. On push, I created three replication tasks.​

​

6a. I set "Remote ZFS Volume/Dataset" to "vol1/foo"​

​

6b. I checked "Recursively replicate and remove stale snapshot on remote side"​

​

6c. I selected "Initialize remote side for once. (May cause data loss on remote side!)"​

​

6d. I set all other fields appropriately but will include them here if you really want to see them.​

My questions:

1. Was it correct for me to perform step 4?​

​

2. Was it correct for me to perform step 6b?​

​

3. Was it correct for me to specify the same value in step 6a for all three replication tasks... or do they need to be different?​

​

4. Is there a way for me to accomplish this with just one "snapshot" task and one "replication" task by taking advantage of "recursion"?​

Thank you,

Chris
