Both servers are: FreeNAS-11.0-RELEASE (a2dc21583)

I'm transferring a huge amount of data from one server to another, The initial replication has finished and I can see the file system is created on the other side and everything looks great. That said it's still two weeks behind slowly catching up on all the other snapshots.

I noticed Freenas 11 has a replication tab and you can see which snapshots have transferred.

Am I able to safely delete any snapshot (From the source) which shows Replication "OK" status even though replication isn't technically "Up to date" just yet? I'm 95% the answer is yes but wanted to double check because it's taken four weeks to send so far and I don't want to break anything :)

Thanks!

Did you find the answer to your question?

No but I deleted 10 snapshots which already were sent to destination, It's now 5 days behind with plenty of space so I'll only know probably by Friday if it broke anything.

Based on what I'm seeing I think I will be OK.
