I plan on doing daily automated backup from my laptop to my FreeNAS server. My laptop is running Windows 8. I am planning to use DeltaCopy server on my Windows 8 machine, and I'll setup the Rsync Task in my freenas to automate the rsync backup.
Because I don't have gigabit Ethernet, nor a fast Wireless AC connection, I plan on first moving all my desired files to an external hard drive, then transferring those files to my FreeNAS server. Thus my first backup with will be assisted with an external hard drive, while the remaining will be using rsync.
How I can take advantage of the following commands on FreeNAS:
- v or -h or --porgress
--partial
--log-file
If FreeNAS is automatically executing my rsync task, how do I check it's status? Where do I go to read the verbose output of a task that is currently being executed? Is there a way I can see any error messages or if my daily rysnc task successfully executed/completed? Where is the log file stored?
Also, is it possible to use the snapshot backups as discussed in this article?
