ZFS replication error after long "pause"

TrueNAS General
1

Hey,

I have a replication task backing up my one system to another location. (Pull from the remote system). Due to a power outage concerning the destination system the replication was now paused for two weeks. I turned it back on yesterday and last nights backup failed with the following error:

Replication “…” failed: No incremental base on dataset …

for one dataset. The oldest snapshot on the source system is now newer than the newest on the destination system and I suspect that’s the cause.
Is there a way to get it back up and running, without replicating again from scratch (almost 2 TB)? Nothing changed on the dataset in between and there is no snapshot missing in between.

I already increased the retention to avoid the problem in the future, but would ideally like to continue from where I was.

Without bookmarks? No. You’ll have to start all over again.

I would make a feature request to integrate bookmarks into the TrueNAS GUI/middleware and automatically create them with certain tasks, but I have a difference of opinion regarding the feature request system.

Thanks for the quick response. Then I guess hat’s what I’ll do and see if I create a feature request.
