Hey.
I'm pretty new to zfs and just started using freenas-8 (great piece of software).
I'm wondering if it is possible to replicate a zfs-volume from an internal harddrive to a usb/firewire/esata drive on the same machine?
I tried to follow the doc here: http://doc.freenas.org/index.php/Replication_Tasks
/mnt/data should be replicated to /mnt/backup-external
Values used:
mount point: /mnt/data
remote zfs-fs: backup-external
remote hostname: localhost
key: cat /data/ssh/replication.pub from the same machine
i did no ssh-keyscan and also did not enter the in authorized_keys (is it neccessary?)
On the data partition I also scheduled one daily snapshot at about midnight ... (is it neccessary to have snapshots for replication?)
Thanks for your answers :)
