Is it safe for a dataset to have overlapping src and dst snapshot policies #472

Closed JakeWharton closed 3 years ago

JakeWharton commented 4 years ago

I have two pools: "home" and "tank". Currently "home" has a source snapshot policy and is replicated into "tank/backup/home" with a matching destination snapshot policy. Now I want to recursively replicate "tank/backup" which has a few filesystems (including "tank/backup/home") to a remote.

Is it safe to apply a source snapshot policy recursively to all of "tank/backup" which overlaps with that destination policy of "tank/backup/home"?

Or should I remove the destination policy of "home" --> "tank/backup/home" so that only the latest is synchronized and then let the recursive source snapshot policy of "tank/backup" --> remote do snapshotting?

Actually since a destination plan is required I suppose no matter what I'm facing overlap unless I migrate to something else for synchronizing "home" to "tank/backup/home".
