Feature Request: Automation for config backup to dropbox or gmail account

[nattan]

Im a fairly huge noob when it comes to anything freenas, but I have seen how important the configuration backups can be. And being able to back up my config via dropbox would be awesome.

anyways just something that I think wouldn't be too hard but would help out immensely.

why not just automate backing it up to the pool?

There is no "Dropbox" software for FreeBSD. If you want this feature you'd have to ask Dropbox to add support.

Ahh and the link I wasn't finding last night:

Back it up to the pool. Best solution. If you lose the config but still have the pool, then you waste time reconfiguring. This is intended for that situation. If you lose the pool but still have the config, there's no value in the config anymore.
