Hi,
Have an old system that has worked so I haven't messed with it. Finally want to tackle updating it and reading through advice on upgrade pathways. Since this is so old and the only things I have setup are SMB shares and AFP (Time Machine) backups, would the best option to backup my GELI encrypted pools and try importing into a fresh true nas scale on a separate usb stick (my freenas runs on a 8gb stick currently). So if I understand if things don't work, I can always just go back to the old old stick as long as I don't update feature flags? Or should I try this 9.10 - > 11.3-U5 -> TrueNAS CORE - > TrueNAS SCALE?

Where is the best place to do the GELI encryption to openZFS encryption? at the TrueNAS CORE stage? Following this concept?
