I have MUCH to learn ... though (this time) I really needed to copy all my data from my old FreeNAS array manually to remove the weird permissions that were appended to the data from when it was on a QNAP (2-3 NAS ago) ... and therefore disallowed deleting or moving any data ... I was still unable to figure out how to use the replication task ... just kept getting one issue after another (despite the server being found in the replication task and allowing me to browse to the folders I wanted to replicate) ... and having successfully added the SSH keys, etc. BUT, again, I'm 100% confident it's my incompetence. I am NO sysadmin. I am basically "pretty good" at admin of Macs, physical diagnostics of laptops, and OS debugging for users, obviously.
I know NOTHING even remotely related to writing a script, which, truly hampers my main target business (Data Recovery).
I know a little bit about PCB diagnostics and repair, and am okay with a PC3000 and DDI ... but have a long ways to go before I can say I'm in the top tier of knowledge ... which is a goal...and of course, having a NAS (like these T320) are a huge help. Both for storing recovered data if I do a RAID recovery ... mounting drive-images from ... whether using R-Studio or PC3000 ... and also, if I clone customer drives to my drives to ensure their safety (instead of using images) the T320 using DD rescue allows cloning 4x 6TB drives per machine (which is awesome).
I'm LUCKY to be in a community of absolute EXPERTS of data recovery who are amazingly generous with their time and no longer play that BS of making it a dark art in which all knowledge is proprietary ... but not understanding scripts / programming sure does hold me back.
Thank you for helping me out so much. Because members of TrueNAS forum's competency & generosity ... members like yourself, JGreco, Rand, Ericloewe ... and undoubtedly countless others I've carelessly missed, people have saved my ass, taught me TONS, saved hours if not months of whatever time I'd have had available to attempt to figure things out on my own, and no doubt, helped me make money at times.
When I'm able to, if there's not a way to pay a "subscription" or make monthly donations ... I will just do them manually. The value of this forum is just TOO GREAT to take for granted.
