 I've set this up on on a [[Proxmox]] backup machine, it creates the [[OpenZFS|zfs]] snapshots on the remote machine and them pulls them into it's own zfs pool.
 
+## important
+
+- the source of the datasets should be the only one taking snapshots (i.e. `autosnap = yes`), the destinations only replicate these snapshots, see Jim Salter's comments [here](https://discourse.practicalzfs.com/t/setting-up-syncoid-for-offsite-backup/1611/3).
+
 ## initial setup
 
 install Sanoid on backup and source host (not strictly required on both, but Sanoid uses tools on both machine for fast and reliable connection)
