I would like to avoid having to decrypt, then restore, then move the archive to the new pb server, then backup/encrypt each of them... is there a way to do that without writing long shell scripts ? or at least simplifiy the...

    Use Api to monitor ZFS Replication

    Thank you for your answer. But replication is usefull in case of a node failure. AFAIK the "/nodes/{node}/replication/{id}/status" API is not working if {node} is down. It would be very usefull to get this information either on any working node of the cluster or at least on the replication...

    Use Api to monitor ZFS Replication

    Hello, "pvesh get /nodes/{node}/replication" gives the current configuration for the replication. But is there a way to get the working status (working or not) and the last valid available replication date ? Thanks
