Should I use a *blank* DST dataset ? #388

Closed romainth closed 5 years ago

romainth commented 5 years ago

Hi !

I would like to send snapshots to a remote dataset which has already some data. Is it a problem to use a remote dataset containing production data ? Or should I use a remote dataset dedicated to receive snapshot ?

In other word, is there a risk to lose data in a DST dataset if it is already used ?

Thanks !

if there is no shared snapshot between src and dst it will not work unless dst is empty
