Hi,
i am very new to TrueNAS and ZFS, so please excuse my probably kind of stupid question:
i have a ZFS Pool here, wich i want to backup using snapshots to another pool. My goal is to keep lets say two weeks of daily snapshots, and 3 years of monthly snapshots of this pool. this must be possible (?), but i am just not sure how to do that.
do i need two different replication tasks? or do i need one replication task with two selected (and different) periodic snapshot tasks?
Right now it looks like this: one Replication Task with two different periodic Snapshot tasks. But: What do i do with the naming? Should montly and daily have different names, or are they all the same but have different lifetimes?
The Replication Task:
And its settings, with both selected snapshot tasks:
And here are the snapshot tasks:
Both look like this:
(yes the times are now set that close to test the behaviour)
Is this how i would set this up? How about naming of the snapshots. Right now both snapshot tasks produce the same names. Is that a problem?
I am not quite confident that this is what i want to achieve ;)
Any suggestions?
THank you so much!!
