replication setup

[customer42]

Hi all,

I've just installed a freenas box, and it's kind been a painful experience .. In short I have several freebsd boxes, all with zpools/vols and data sets I want to back up centrally, daily.. With freebsd all you need to do is literally create a user, give it send permissions to the pool... ssh-copy-id to the target and set up a @daily cron tab and presto ... daily replication ..

yet none of this seems to work with freenas, there's not even a /home directory to ssh-copy-id's to ..

thanks!

If you're going to pull to/from a non FreeNAS / TrueNAS system, you can do so. You'll need to to go the Users Menu, go to "root" user, and click edit. From there you can download the SSH pubkey for root, or add authorized keys to the root-user if you are pushing to FreeNAS. (Substitute root user with whatever user you prefer)
