I've been testing TrueNAS (Core) replication via the "Replication Task" GUI. I'm having trouble distinguishing the difference between checking "Recursive" and "Include Dataset Properties" vs checking "(Almost) Full Filesystem Replication".

I understand some of the options in the replication task gui go beyond a single CLI command, I was hoping to start here to help me understand what these do.

RecursiveReplicate all child dataset snapshots. When selected, Exclude Child Datasets becomes available.

Include Dataset PropertiesInclude dataset properties with the replicated snapshots.

(Almost) Full Filesystem ReplicationCompletely replicate the selected dataset. The target dataset will have all of the properties, snapshots, child datasets, and clones from the source dataset.


Is there really a difference between checking the first two and selecting the third option? Are having all three options redundant?
