Limited to 1TB even though we are using our own local FreeNAS/TrueNAS devices?

In reply to Jason Rose. Hi Jason, As I wrote that unfortunately does not work. I get an authentication error. I tried it twice with different registration credentials. Any idea why?

In reply to shane. The DS-Operator requires Java Web Start, which is no longer included in Java11. Install openjdk8 and the icedtea plugin

You are absolutely right Dan. I think that all leading software companies must have Linux VM appliance especially for backing up VMs. FreeNAS is very useful and stable as a backup repository for VMs. If Asigra decide to release VM Appliance, I probably will start using it.

In reply to Georgi Anastasov. Thanks, and it's too bad they don't have an appliance. Shouldn't be too hard, though, to install it in a Linux VM.

In reply to Dan. When you register in Asigra by right click on the plugin, you will receive by e-mail link to download DS Client and documentation in iso format. So you have to mount this iso to read documentation and install the client. I do not see in iso prepackaged appliance.

So the plugin installs the DS-Operator/DS-System, and you note above that the DS-client needs to be installed on another system or a VM. So where can we obtain the DS-client? Because a quick web search hasn’t found it available for download (and the most promising hit, on http://ftp.asigra.com, is on a server whose name doesn’t resolve). Is there a prepackaged appliance we could use in our hypervisor of choice? An ISO that will install such an appliance? Or is it up to us to install our base OS of choice and then install and configure the DS-client?

I install plugin and register it to Asigra. When start DS-Operator and try to connect to DS System service with credentials from Asigra I have authentication error. So nothing can be tested or used.
