backupData requires pools to have different names even if they are on different machines

Open fritz-hh opened this issue 7 years ago • 0 comments

Hello Fritz,

Thank you for these scripts! They appear to be exactly what I was looking for (manageSnapshots.sh and backupData.sh in particular). I've just got one issue ... I'm trying to backup datasets on my primary storage server to a backup server. The servers are very similar in configuration, right down to the names of the pools/datasets. When I invoke backupData.sh from the command line:

./backupData.sh -s [email protected] Pool01/Misc Pool01/Misc

Nothing much happens, and I get the following in backupData.sh.log:

20171006_165920	INFO	-------------------------------------
20171006_165920	ERROR	SSH connection test successful.
20171006_165920	ERROR	The source filesystem "Pool01/Misc" is in the same pool than the destination filesystem "Pool01/Misc"

Am I doing something wrong? It also occurs to me that perhaps the script requires the storage pool to have a different name, even when located on another server. Any comment?

Thanks again! Chris
