FreeNas8 release, where is RSync?

[jpgoossen]

Hi all,

It seems I am being blinded by the options. I was hoping to enable RSync in Freenas 8 (Release AMD64 version), but cannot find the service. Not under Services or anywhere.

My goal is to set up unattended nightly backups (differential) from Linux (Ubuntu 11.04) and Windows (XPsp3 and 7) to the Freenas box. RSync sounded like the perfect way to do this, since it supports differential backups. I want my Media server to be included in the synchronisation/backup, so full backups are not an option after the first one.

Can anyone point me to where rsync can be enabled in FreeNAS?
Any other suggestions or help are appreciated as well, of course!

TIA,

Patrick

Hi jpgoossen,

GUI support for Rsync will be available in 8.0.1. You can install the latest beta if you want to get in early - http://sourceforge.net/projects/freenas/files/FreeNAS-8.0.1/
