I would like to clarify perhaps a basic question which is not yet clear to me.
I run a base Freenas with two "backup" Freenas. After a recent upgrade to 11.3 I deleted all snapshot tasks on source and would like to set up new tasks. The data replicated to backup1 and backup2 is almost up to date.
Question: After I will create a new snapshot task on source and send over to backup1 and backup2 will it preserve the data already existing on target and add/update/delete data or will the complete data from source be copied to target regardless of the already existing data on target?
One of the reasons I am asking is that the size of one example dataset on source is 360 GiB while the size on destination is already 460 GiB. There are no snapshots on target and the first snapshot that is currently running is constantly growing the size of target and I have no clue where the difference of 100 GiB comes from...
