Hello, I will give a try on this forum because I do not understand what I am missing... I use rsync to send movies from my seedbox to my home server (FreeNAS-11.2-U7). The problem is that the speed is abnormally low when I send the file to my server (around 1.5MB/s) What I don't understand...

The question can seem naive, because it is... ;) I have 2 FreeNAS, NAS-A, and NAS-B which replicates everything everynight from NAS-A. It uses rsync tasks on NAS-B, with the 'root' user. As passwords are the same (or is it because I have setup ssh with RSA via cli ?), it runs without user...

Hey guys, I'm new to FreeNAS and newer to some Linux stuff, but what we're wanting to do is backup some of our Windows servers via SSH/RSync? What I'm most concerned about these days, like everyone else is Ransomware attacks. I'm super paranoid, so I was wondering this -- If we rsynced our...

Folks, While waiting on my switch to get here, i run some tests and noticed the rsync transfer speed just a little bit faster over 10gb than over 1gb. Both servers are using Chelsio 10GB 2-Port PCI-e Card PCI-E 110-1088-30, connected with a Cisco SFP-H10GB-CU1M 1 Meter Twinax 10GB Cable, both...

Hi forum. Long time listener, first time caller. I am setting up a brand new FreeNAS 11.1 box and migrating all data and jails from my ageing 9.3 install. I couldn't do zfs snapshot transfer (apparently I needed 9.10 or later on the older server, I'm not sure why) so I switched on rsyncd on the...

Hi, I have previously run my rsync tasks from cron. Now I noticed there is rsync tab for such tasks. However, I can't find a way to specify the private key for the rsync+ssh task. How to set it? If I'd create key for root, I assume that's gone after the next update. In cron it works like this...

Hi, In the past I had the (bad ?) habit to use "crontab -e" and add new crontab lines to perform rsync jobs with success/fail mail notifications. Recently we upgraded to 11.1-U4 and we realized the crontab was replaced and our previous crontab version has not been saved in the system snapshot...
