Hi Team

Recently i check my replication server and i found one of the data set size is largest that the source server

When i try to FTP to the replication server i can't see any file on it, it there got any way i can see the replication server data, and why the replication dataset is largest that the source server

Thank You

Replicated snapshots are hidden by default in a .zfs directory. I think we are usually recommended not to fiddle around in that directory. But the files are there, as you can see from the size of the dataset.

It could be larger in size because your snapshot history is longer than in the source, I. E. You have not ticked "delete stale snapshots" in the replication settings.

If i dont have delete the stale snapshots on remote server may i know where it keep? in remote server snapshot?

I'm not sure I understand the question. If you don't tick the checkbox for delete stale snapshots on destination, snapshots will continue to live on the remote destination (as backup) even after they are deleted or expired on the source.
