      Hi!

      TLDR: Is it a problem to add the same remote twice to XOA?

      What happens, if I copy all the files inside a backup-remote to another system and expose it with NFS to XOA?
      Is it a problem, that XOA will "see" the same UIDs on two remotes?

      Thank you and best wishes
      KPS

        Hi,

        As usual, I would ask: "what do you need?", before talking about any solution 🙂

          I want to have the option to introduce ZFS snapshots of the remote if I want to restore from them as:

          • They are immutable
          • They can be sent offsite

          So, I would add an „older version“ of RemoteA as RemoteB

            Are there any UUIDs for a remote, that are saved in the meta-files on the remote?

              I don't think it's a good approach, BR weren't meant for that. If you want to send them offsite, mirror backup is the best option. About immutability, we have an external program doing it if you want.
