Thanks. Based on this recommendation, I started a ZFS Replication task from a Snapshot with an SSH bridge from TrueNAS1 to TrueNAS2. It’s a big dataset that I will be splitting into smalled datasets, so I expect to accomplish this with rsync on the destination TrueNas instance once everything transfers.
