Best Practice Guide

[William Bravin]

Hello all

I would consider myself a newbie with regards to freenas. I had to re-install freenas several times and I believe (thanks to the help I received from the gents on the forum) that I have the installation down path. Now that i have set up a complete redundant server in my house I am ready to explore the additional functionalities provided by freenas.

Is there a compendium of best practices for freenas a guide to what when and how to maintain and further develop a freenas installation

There are documents and videos to install freenas and this helps a lot.

The guide would assist individuals such as myself who use freenas for home use and do not have the experience of running a data environment and save much time for looking for articles on such a subject and conversely save the community time in responding to repetitive questions.

I know that there are articles on backups, hardware maintenance and repair, services, tasks solution maintenance etc.

These would be of infinite help.

Is there such a guide?

If so where could i find it?

If not I would be happy to help to build one ... I would however a principal to vet my work, guide me and mentor me.

Just a thought

I think Uncle Fester's guide would be a good start since it covers critical items like SMART testing, scrubs, snapshots, etc:
