Hi all. I am still considering FreeNAS, and I just wanted to confirm:
1) Backing up your data to a USB drive is a big nono because ZFS hates USB, right?
2) So your only external alternative is to dump your data from the FreeNAS box through the network to your Windows client and finally to your external USB drive?
3) Should you set your backup program to copy directly from your FreeNAS to the USB, or should you be doing a copy from your FreeNAS to local folder on client and then backing up from local folder on client to USB?
