Using Local Replication Setting Up a Simple Replication Task Overview Configuring a Local Replication Task Using Local Replication A local replication creates a zfs snapshot and saves it to another location on the same TrueNAS SCALE system either using a different pool, or dataset or zvol. This allows users with only one system to take quick data backups or snapshots of their data when they have only one system. In this scenario, create a dataset on the same pool to store the replication snapshots.

Managing Sysctl Variables Managing the System Dataset Pool Storage Settings Configuration Screen Setting the Number of Replication Tasks Managing Sessions Section Contents Advanced Settings provides configuration options for the console, syslog, Kernel, sysctl, replication, cron jobs, init/shutdown scripts, system dataset pool, isolated GPU device(s), self-encrypting drives, sessions, and global two-factor authentication.
Advanced settings have reasonable defaults in place. A warning message displays for some settings advising of the dangers of making changes.

Using Remote Replication Setting Up a Simple Replication Task Overview Creating a Remote Replication Task Configuring a New SSH Connection Using SSH Transfer Security Using Remote Replication TrueNAS SCALE replication allows users to create one-time or regularly scheduled snapshots of data stored in pools, datasets or zvols on their SCALE system as a way to back up stored data. When properly configured and scheduled, remote replication takes take regular snapshots of storage pools or datasets and saves them in the destination location on another system.
Unlocking a Replicated Encrypted Dataset or Zvol Without a Passphrase Unlocking a Replicated Encrypted Dataset or Zvol Without a Passphrase TrueNAS SCALE users should either replicate the dataset/Zvol without properties to disable encryption at the remote end or construct a special JSON manifest to unlock each child dataset/zvol with a unique key.
Method 1: Construct JSON Manifest. Replicate every encrypted dataset you want to replicate with properties.
Export key for every child dataset that has a unique key.
Creating a Periodic Snapshot Task Using the Advanced Scheduler Using Naming Schemas Setting Snapshot Lifetimes Periodic snapshot tasks allow you to schedule creating read-only versions of pools and datasets at a given point in time. You can also access VMWare snapshot integration and TrueNAS SCALE storage snapshots from the Periodic Snapshot Tasks widget.
How should I use snapshots? expand Snapshots do not make not copies of the data so creating one is quick and if little data changed, they take very little space.

A periodic snapshot task allows scheduling the creation of read only versions of pools and datasets at a given point in time.
