Hi, newbie here to FreeNAS and FreeBSD. I have inherited a 9.3 FreeNAS, and am attempting to create new 9.10 FreeNAS. I have created the 9.10 machine, and setup my datasets, approximately 40 or so, setup for different departments, as well as user home directories. I have setup a daily snapshot of the top-level parent dataset, and checked the option to recursively include all datasets underneath. This is working fine and creating daily snapshots. I then have enabled replication to my 9.3 FreeNAS which is at a different physical location than where I am at. I have confirmed that SSH is setup correctly to allow me to connect. I have created and enabled a single replication task that replicates the top-level dataset, and all children datasets, to my 9.3 machine on a dataset named 'replicationstore',
This replication starts, but isn't running correctly it seems. On the 9.3 machine, under the Storage/Volumes tab, I can see that underneath 'replicationstore' 3 new datasets have been created, my top-level dataset from my 9.10 box, and a child dataset for "user home directories", and then another child dataset for a specific user. However, this is all that is created, no other datasets. Also, under the Snapshots tab of the 9.3 device, I do not see any snapshots listed, besides a manual snapshot that was taken of the entire local 9.3 datasets taken about 8 months ago.
Can someone assist with this? Is it possible the difference in software version is affecting the replication of the snapshots?
Thank you so much!
