I scheduled zxfer in /etc/crontab to backup Samba server data. It has been working great. Lately I found the backup server is not up to date. By running the same zxfer commands as in /etc/crontab mannually on Samba server, I see some errors.
Despite the error on dataset store1, the snapshots still get transferred.
On dataset store2, snapshots transfer has stopped for months. Why the error, what makes zfs send not to work?
On backup server 192.168.1.151.
What am I doing wrong here?
