Hi,
I found this script:
https://github.com/laurent22/rsync-time-backup
It claims to make time machine style backups using rsync, which is exactly what I'm looking for.
However, I'm not quote sure if I can install it in the base FreeNAS OS drive using GIT:
git clone https://github.com/laurent22/rsync-time-backup
If I run this in the console, will git even be available and on the path? Where will the script be installed?
I'm a unix noob, so I apologize for he rudimentary questions.
Lastly, I think I know the answer to this, but wanted to verify. If I want to us a USB or SATA attached drive to back up to, must is use the ZFS file system? I would like to use my Drobo but I know ZFS wants full access to hardware and won't work on RAID systems. If it MUST use ZFS, then I could setup the Drobo on the network and backup across the network instead. For example, hang it off the Mac server on my network.
