Move dataset or pool to another server (different number of disk)

[phamthinh1368]

Hi all,

I just build another TrueNAS server with an 8-disk pool. Ive already got a NAS pool built from 10-disk pool. How to move all data from the old pool to new pool?

Tks you all.

Is the older system a Truenas system as well? If so, then you could do a zfs replication (send recieve) between them.
If it isn't, then I would just use an intermediary computer to copy the files from the old NAS to the new NAS. This would probably be the easiest and most straightforward option. But the more "elegant" options offer plenty of opportunity to learn :)
A third option is to do a Rsync job, to copy the data over directly between them.
