Backup

[bobkalil]

Hi all,

Im new to freenas, I received my new freenas xl mini 16TB and at the moment I have WDmycloud ex 4100 12TB I want to copy all the data from wdmycloud and to keep it copying every day in case some files was change or added for 2 weeks and then i will share the freenas to users and make the wdmy cloud as backup for freenas.

Can you help me plz

Thankyou

For starters, read about 'zfs send' and also read:

For starters, read about 'zfs send' and also read:

I very much doubt that the WD device supports zfs. As far as I know, it uses some busybox linux install.

It seems to me that rsync is the answer to the question. Have a look here:

Or, I figured the "WD device" was a hard disk, which could of course be formatted as ZFS.
