I've got a pool consisting of a 10TB + 3TB disk called Primary Pool.
I've got another pool consisting of duplicate hardware - 10TB + 3TB disk - called Backup Pool.
I essentially just wanted the Primary Pool to be duplicated on the Backup Pool in a mirroring fashion.
My original thought was that I could just create a new pool and add the above pools to it and turn on duplication of the pool but the new pool didn't reflect the contents of the primary pool. So, I eventually just added the Backup pool to the Primary Pool which expanded the primary pool to 26TB and turned on pool duplication. I'm not sure that this is doing what I want it to do though. Maybe I should have just added the drives from the backup pool to the primary pool and not worry where the files ended up residing as long as duplication x2 was on.

What's the "proper" way of doing this?
