ReadyDR won't preserve the snapshots on the original machine. It also doesn't create a duplicate (the ReadyDR backup needs to be restored before you can use it). It's closer to replicate in functionality than an NAS backup job.
You'd need to do this via ssh (using btrfs send and receive).

Thank you for the pointer, I will look through the forums or on general btrfs forums outside of readyNAS.
A question about readyDR, if I restore the readyDR to a new unit do I only get the most recent version or do all of the snapshots get preserved when the readyDR volume is restored.
I am thinking about disaster recovery and trying to determine if there is a path from a readyDR backup to a system which has all of the original snapshots preserved.
Thanks!
