Hello everybody,
I have some Backup-related questions about FreeNAS/TrueNAS.
First, talking about all the files, I have set up an external Backup Server (also installed with TrueNAS) where all the files (two different Datasets) should be backed up to. I read myself into two different backup topics (RSYNC and ZFS Replication). Comparing the two, what is the best way to backup files? I'm talking about the files itself as well as permissions.
Also, the Backup Server is located in another network (at my parents home, in order to counteract fire, flooding or other hardware related issues). For every backup my Backup-Server connects via VPN to my personal network. Does this create an issue (data can not be transferred over VPN, data can corrupt over vpn, etc.?) or is it just the same as if the server would be in my personal network ?
Second, what would be a good way to backup my System drive ? After the initial setup of FreeNAS I exported the config-file and store them my ZFS Pool as well as on an USB-Stick. Is this enough or is a snapshot also a good idea?
And last but not least, how do you backup jails and iocage datasets? Can this also be done via ZFS Replication/RSYNC? I have set a lot of local metadata for Movies, Photos and TV shows on Plex which I want to keep in a case of a broken system
