Hi,
I'm picked up a TrueNAS Mini XL+ and I'm migrating Time Machine Backups from my home grown TrueNAS to the new TrueNAS Mini. I've decided to use snapshot replication for this task, but I do have a few questions/concerns:
Thank you.
	
		
			
		
		
	
			
			I'm picked up a TrueNAS Mini XL+ and I'm migrating Time Machine Backups from my home grown TrueNAS to the new TrueNAS Mini. I've decided to use snapshot replication for this task, but I do have a few questions/concerns:
- Because my original TrueNAS build didn't have a lot of bays and thus storage, I enabled dedupe and compression on the original/source pool. Will all of those settings, dedupe mappings, etc all transfer OK to the new TrueNAS server since I'm using ZFS replication?
 - What happens to the original permissions and Apple specific share settings that were set on the original/source dataset when it is replicated to the target server? Does all that get replicated as well (even if the target users don't exist)?
 - While I didn't consider this when I originally set this up, will I run into any issues restoring my time machine backups if I have de-duplication enabled?
 
Thank you.
