Hi! I'm currently running TrueNAS with 11 HDD on RAID-Z2 and an SSD to run TrueNAS.
My question is how cain i backup my system disk?
If this disk fails, how can i recover my pool?
I know there is a system config archive that I've already save but when i restore TrueNAS config from this archive It says my pool has failed.

You don't really need to... backup your config, either manually or via a script that will send it to you by email or store it somewhere... e.g. https://www.truenas.com/community/resources/multi_report-sh-version-for-core-and-scale.179/ (where you also get a bonus report of how healthy your pools/disks are).

If the system disk fails, install to a new one and restore your config backup, everything comes back.
