Ran a search for backup and read the first 15 pages of posts. Found a lot on rsync and chron jobs and replication, etc., none of which I understand as of yet. I'm just looking for a way to backup the data on it.
From my Win 7 laptop, could I simply open up the FreeNAS mapped drive and copy the folders/data my NTFS formatted external USB hard drive that is connected to my Win 7 laptop? I didn't know if there were any file system or file attribute gotchas to be aware of.
I know this is an extremely manual way of backing up the data, but seems the easiest for me now, since I don't have a 2nd hard drive in my NAS box yet, and have no other computers in the house.
