Advanced Replication Tasks

TrueNAS advanced replication allows users to create one-time or regularly scheduled snapshots of data stored in pools, datasets, or zvols on their TrueNAS system as a way to back up stored data. When properly configured and scheduled, local or remote replication using the Advanced Replication Creation option takes regular snapshots of storage pools or datasets and saves them in the destination location on the same or another system.

Replication from one pool or dataset to another pool or dataset on the TrueNAS system is called local replication. Replication from the TrueNAS system to another TrueNAS or other backup server is called remote replication. Both local and remote replication can involve encrypted pools or datasets.

SSH Service Screen

The System > Services > SSH screen allows you to set up SSH service on TrueNAS.

Click to open the Services > SSH configuration screen.

Allowing external connections to TrueNAS is a security vulnerability! Do not enable SSH unless you require external connections. See Security Recommendations for more security considerations when using SSH.

You must also configure SSH backup credentials to allow SSH access. See SSH Screens for more information.
