I want to add encryption on my unencrypted storage pool my question is how I do it?
I have read that I can't (or it is not supported) to encrypt an existing pool, so that's not an option for me.
I have a backup Truenas SCALE system running a replication task of my primary truenas CORE device. So, my question is how should I do this process?
This is the steps I have considered, but please let me know if there is a better way:

I have a backup Truenas SCALE system running a replication task of my primary truenas CORE device. So, my question is how should I do this process?
This is the steps I have considered, but please let me know if there is a better way:
- Export/Take the disks from the backup system and put them in my primary system
- Delete my unencrypted main storage pool on my primary system
- Create a new encrypted storage pool
- Replicate the unencrypted backup datasets to the new encrypted main storage pool.
- If I carry out this process will this preserve file permissions and SMB/NFS shares?
- Can I replicate unencrypted child datasets to an encrypted pool for dataset encryption?
- My backup pool and dataset is on a TrueNAS Scale device and my primary system is a TrueNAS Core system, could this create any issues? Or should I upgrade my core system to scale before this process?
- Is it better to just leave the backup disk in the backup device and replicate through 1G ethernet?
- Is there a CLI command that could replicate the datasets 1to1 instead of the hazzel of setting up a replication task in the GUI?
