Hi,
I have a pretty specific question. I have a plan of expanding my Home-Server. I currently have 3 12 TB Seagate drives and 2 unused 12 TB ones that i want to incorporate in the pool. I want to create a pool with 5 12 TB Drives in Z1. Tho to achieve that i will transfer all files to tape storage because i got 2 Drives and a Ton of Storage. I know ix-systems doesnt want you to do it but the Hardware is here and i have no more space in this case for any drives after this. My plan is now to copy everything on to tapes and after destroying and recreating the Pool to copy everything in the same structure back to the pool just with double the capacity. Now my question is how can i get back the config for the pool like datasets, shares and so on. Or do i have to recreate all of this afterwards? It is really important how i save the Data on the tapes. I cant really export the pool because there will be multiple tapes and the backup solution i am using is the tar command. What i could do is create a single archive and split it onto multiple tapes with tar but will this keep the configuration?
