Hello @gea
Is it possible to replicate data between different versions of NappIT?
e.g.
data source NappIT version = 0.9f6 (Omnios151014)
date destination NappIT version = latest 20. release (Omnios151030)


thanks
Bob

I have not tested but would expect a successful replication.

I migrated my replication destination machine from NappIT 0.9f6 and Omnios151014 to NappIT 19.06h and Omnios151030.
Replication between my primary machine, which is still NappIT 0.9f6 / Omnios151014 and the newly updated replication machine does work.
However, I did find the NappIT > User > Restore Setting extension did not work, i guess it was too much of a leap from 0.9f6 to 19.06. I've manually reconfigured my replication jobs and everything seems to be working OK.

Regards
Bob

The napp-it/user/job/iSCSI save/restore functionality was created much later than 0.9f6.

To restore an incremental replication without, just create a new replication job with same source, target and jobid. You can get the old jobid from a snapshot listing where it is part of the snapname.
