switching freenas boxes using snapshots?

[ozwaldca]

Hey guys,

I am currently running two freenas boxes a 30TB (Main) and an 8 TB (Backup) in size. I have setup replication from main to backup.

Now i want to sell my Main freenas box and move all my data about 3TB to the backup box. What would be the best method to do this switch?

Cheers

Ozzy

I'm not sure what sizes you plan to keep and get rid of, but yes, using snapshots and replication should work.
