Replication GUI interface

[Alex_K]

In TrueNAS core new UI I noticed many new fields compared to FreeNAS legacy
Not all of them are documented

Can someone tell, or point to documentation, what "Restore" button do
What properties "Include dataset properties" include
What properties, how (format/syntax) and to what effect could be listed in "Properties Exclude"
And what is the exact meaning of "Almost" when "(Almost) Full Filesystem Replication" is chosen?

Thanks

Hi Alex. I'm also interested to find out what an "Almost" Full Filesystem Replication is. Any guidance on this matter would be greatly appreciated.

When I open a new replication task, I see the option in the same place called "Full Filesystem Replication".

The help text goes like this:

My guess (based on that help text) is that you've probably got a regular expression other than * in the filter for snapshots, so the "Almost" refers to the snapshots not included as the "gap".

Maybe a little better than a guess: Hides the Recursive and Include Dataset Properties options. from here: https://www.truenas.com/docs/scale/...licationscreensscale/#advanced-source-options

I still don't see any change to that pair of options when changing either of them, so not really sure that the help explains it fully (or at all)
