yes no problem, you just have to adapt the command that refers to it

thanks.

I'm not sure what's going on here. I was able to enter the jail earlier through ssh, but when I try again, I keep getting an error:

[me@freenas ~]$ jls
JID IP Address Hostname Path
1 192.168.1.60 Urbackup /mnt/backup_z2/jails/Urbackup
[me@freenas ~]$ sudo jexec 1 tcsh
Password:
jexec: execvp(): tcsh: No such file or directory

could my jail be corrupt? if I try to use csh rather than tcsh, it throws the same error.

I use the root use directly to do that and not sudo to it maybe your problem comes from there (nnot sure)

you can also try to launch a shell from the jail menu (select yout jail in the list and use the icon at the bottom of the page to launch a shell)

I think the issue for me is step #8. I haven't retried step 8 to confirm for sure, but so far, steps 1-7 have allowed me to enter/exit/enter the jail without any problem. see this other thread I created: https://forums.freenas.org/index.php?threads/corrupted-jail.35583

urbackup doesn't seem to start automatically when freenas is rebooted.

here's my /usr/local/etc/rc.d/urbackup_srv file:

Code:
root@Urbackup:/usr/local/etc/rc.d # cat urbackup_srv
#!/bin/sh
. /etc/rc.subr
name=urbackup_srv
rcvar=urbackup_srv_enable
command="/usr/local/sbin/${name}"
command_args="--plugin /usr/local/lib/liburbackupserver_urlplugin.so --plugin /usr/local/lib/liburbackupserver_cryptoplugin.so --plugin /usr/loca/lib/liburbackupserver_downloadplugin.so --plugin /usr/local/lib/liburbackupserver_fsimageplugin.so --plugin /usr/local/lib/liburbackupserver_httpserver.so --plugin /usr/local/lib/liburbackupserver.so --http_root /usr/local/var/urbackup/www --workingdir /usr/local/var --user urbackup --http_port 55414 --logfile /var/log/urbackup_srv.log --daemon"
start_precmd="cd /usr/local/var"
load_rc_config $name
run_rc_command "$1"



and here's my /etc/rc.conf file:

Code:
root@Urbackup:/usr/local/etc/rc.d # cat /etc/rc.conf
portmap_enable="NO"
sshd_enable="NO"
sendmail_enable="NO"
sendmail_submit_enable="NO"
sendmail_outbound_enable="NO"
sendmail_msp_queue_enable="NO"
hostname="Urbackup"
devfs_enable="YES"
devfs_system_ruleset="devfsrules_common"
urbackup_srv_enable="YES"

I just tried to reinstall from scratch and I have the same problem and I corrected the step 7 in order to make it work. The file urbackup_srv is succesfully started works when it's in /etc/rd.d not when it's in /usr/local/etc/rc.d
But it still don't know which method is more "standard", if I do it wrong or not

Hello All. Just wanted to say thanks for the guide. I have successfully installed and it appears to be working, although with a somewhat strange phenomenon. I was just curious if anyone else has/is experiencing the same thing. I am using 1.4.12 (latest) server version inside FreeNAS Jail with 1.4.10 (latest) client side interface on a Windows 7 desktop machine. When performing backups (full image in my case), the server appears to complete the backup, reports the following error after completion (Request of image backup failed. Reason: Creating Shadow drive failed. Stopping.) The server dashboard indicates that a full image backup has never completed however the image .vhd file appears to be stored in /mnt/tank/backups. Hope that description is clear enough. I've forced backups several times now while troubleshooting with same/similar results. Anyone experience something similar or have any thoughts on the subject?

Great guide. I would suggest to add the code below to Step 9. I didn't see anywhere else in the steps that started the jail.

Code:
service urbackup_srv start

I'm pretty sure at one point in time, that info was in the OP...I'm not sure why it was ever removed though.

has anyone upgraded urbackup to 1.4.14 in their jail yet? any issues?

Running 1.4.14 flawlessly here. Great tool. BTW tried full image restore a few times with urbackup_restore_1.2WIP2 boot tool. Worked fine.

Some hints for trying the new 2.0 beta server:
- the name changed from urbackup_srv to urbackupsrv (no underscore anymore), you have to change them accordingly
- the plugins are statically compiled (no need for specifying them on the command line)

thus the start up script looks like

#!/bin/sh
. /etc/rc.subr
name=urbackupsrv
rcvar=urbackupsrv_enable
command="/usr/local/sbin/${name}"
command_args="run --daemon"
start_precmd="cd /usr/local/var"
load_rc_config $name
run_rc_command "$1"

Thanks Dennis1000 for your precious tips. Updated to 2.0.15.0 server beta flawlessly. Done a few backups so far without issue. The GUI is more informative. The activities tab show current backup speed.

Hello!
I updated following steps #5, #6 and #7 to update the start up script as you mentioned, but now the service won't restart. It says "WARNING: could not restart service" after giving a lists of possible commands for urbackupsrv.

I've now stopped the jail, created new one, and updating to 2.0.30 to test it out...
My steps to update:
1. mkdir /urbackup
2. cd /urbackup
3. wget https://hndl.urbackup.org/Server/2.0.30/urbackup-server-2.0.30.tar.gz --no-check-certificate
4. tar zxvf urbackup-server-2.0.30.tar.gz
5. cd urbackup-server-1.4.9
6. ./configure
7. make
8. make install

then i updated the script following OP's #7 and your post.

Thanks!
