Replicate Replicated Dataset

You shouldn’t be creating new snapshots on a backup target. This will cause breakages.


When asking for help with these types of situations, you’ll have to split up your post into sections with clear layouts and relevant information.

I know it seems self explanatory to you (since you are sitting in front of your server/GUI), but it’s hard to follow.


I know there are three pools on your TrueNAS SCALE server:

  • default
  • software
  • backup

I think you’ve successfully replicated the root datasets of the pools “default” and “software” into your backup pool, nested like this:

  • backup/replicas/default
  • backup/replicas/software

Within each of these exist all the children (and the replicated snapshots).

Is everything encrypted with these “replicated root datasets”, including their children?

Is backup/replicas encrypted?

How did you configure the Replication Task to go from backup/replicas → Ubuntu?
