Backup linux to freenas

[enold]

Hello, Is there would be someone to help me make a backup of a linux station (Debian) to my freenas, I'm looked for tutorials I haven't found. thank you

Probably the simplest way is to use rsync. Have a look at the FreeNAS manual, it's explained in the chapter “Configuring Rsync over SSH Mode Between Two FreeNAS Systems”.

Thanks for your answer, but I have one freenas system and one linux system which doesn't have freenas. How can I make the backup of my /home/ for example to my freenas with rsync.

If you want to do it manually:
First you have to configure the SSH service on your FreeNAS and create a user for it (consult the manual).

Then something along this line should do:

Code:

rsync -avh /home/<username>/ <ssh-user>@<freenas-ip>:/mnt/<poolname>

Replace the entries for <username>, <ssh-user>, <freenas-ip> and <poolname>

However, I'd recommend you familiarize yourself with the manual of rsync(1) to understand what the command actually does.

If you don't want to learn the basics of rsync or are uncomfortable using the shell, there exist multiple backup softwares with a GUI supporting many different protocols (SCP, SFTP, FTP, Samba, ...).

I use the rsync jobs in Freenas, connecting to the rsync daemon running on my desktop that exports out the directories I want backed up. Make the desktop be your 'server' and the FreeNAS pulls from it.
