I have a particular scenario where I store all the data on a freenas server from multiple Mac computers via Afp.
When I want to make the backup, I'd like to avoid doing through the network because it takes a lot of bandwidth. I'd like to know if there's some solution involving plugging a disk via USB.
I currently rsync everything to a USB disk attached to a Mac machine (I don't want to lose the file permissions and attributes) and at the time the backup is being run, the performance decreases for the rest of the users.
This is a small company and the backup is an off-site system, so, leaving the disk plugged overnight to perform the task is a no-no....
What ideas could you give me?
Thanks.
