FreeNAS to QNAP backup

[Viggen73]

As I stated on my presentation i'm aiming at replacing a QNAP NAS by a FreeNas machine, the only issue is that I still want to use the QNAP as backup for the files on the FreeNas. I've managed to set-up a FreeNas to FreeNas round the hour snapshot backup, but since there's not much space in the Proliant Server which is actualy an SQL server I would wrather use the QNAP to backup. Is there a plugin of somekind that I can add to FreeNas to create that backup?

Thanks for the help. But isn't this another version of the replication tasks? As much I could understand it only works from FreeNas to FreeNas...?

QNAP devices should be able to handle rsync - they could back when I used them. The rsync tasks that danb35 is recommending is the way to go for this scenario.

Then you have much reading to do, young grasshopper.

If you have a high-end QNAP with enough memory, you can run FreeNAS on QNAP and then use a replication task between the two systems.

Thanks for all the replies and help. Untill now I've managed to backup to and external USB drive and I'm pretty sure I can do the same to my QNAP (option for rsync server was "hidden") it's a really crappy TS412U which had another issue I had to overcome: SMB version limited to 2.11... I gotta remind myself to send a really large "Thank You" mail to QNAP development team which left that crappy line of code in the smb.conf...
I'll be poping up from time to time for some info and help.
