Forgive me if this has already been answered, I did search but could not find an answer to my exact question.
I am looking to have an external USB rotation for additional backup. I would like to be able to plug in a USB drive, have a scheduled backup run to the drive, unplug the drive at the end of the day to take home. If possible I would like to rotate drives this way but I am not sure the first part is even possible yet. The key thing about this is I need it to be automated. I need the user to only have the responsibility of swapping the drives nightly.
I was thinking I could bypass the TrueNas GUI and just do some CRON jobs to script this but it appears that even just mounting the drive is limited through the TrueNas install. So is there another way to do this, either through the GUI or through manually scripting it?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
