Now that my FreeNAS mini is up and running, I'd like to back it up to an external drive connected via usb every week or so, automatically.
And, is there a nifty way to copy all my datasets over?
I am familiar with cron and rsync, which is how I'd do it in a regular filesystem. But I'm sure there is a FreeNAS or ZFS way of doing things...
Thanks!
- I plugged in the drive.
- In the UI, Storage->Volumes->Volume Manager, I named and added a new volume containing only this disk.
- I can see the new root volume and root dataset in the UI. Away with you, foul Windows file system, or whatever you were!
