I have created a “Full Filesystem” replication of my apps pool /apps to the pool /back, which lives on an entirely different system. Afterwards, I noticed that I cannot actually unlock the created replica without “force” because the directory /mnt/back/apps exists. It contains a directory ix-apps, which I assume is the replica of the directory normally found at /mnt/.ix-apps and contains app metadata. So my first question is: Why is this here? This is not obvious after simply replicating the pool /apps.
Second, how do I now properly replicate this? Optimally, I want the ix-apps directory to also be encrypted in the replica, which serves as a backup. So my guess is that I somehow have to only replicate the content of the pool and manually copy the ix-apps in a second step (or maybe skip it entirely if I do not need it, which actually seems to be more likely).
How can I set up a replication task like this?
Edit: Note that the ix-apps “hidden” dataset gets also replicated if I do not choose the full file system replication. Additionally, I cannot add ix-apps as a dataset that should be ignored during replication because I get an error message saying it does not exist.
