Request - Tarsnap plugin

[rm-r]

Hi Guys,

I'd like to request a plugin for Tarsnap

Freenas + Tarsnap this seems like a marriage made in heaven to me! Also its made by Colin Persival! Ex FreeBSD security officer.

Tarsnap is a secure online backup service for BSD, Linux, OS X, Minix, OpenIndiana, Cygwin, and probably many other UNIX-like operating systems. The Tarsnap client code provides a flexible and powerful command-line interface which can be used directly or via shell scripts.

Tarsnap works on a prepaid model based on actual usage.
Storage: 250 picodollars / byte-month
($0.25 / GB-month)
Bandwidth: 250 picodollars / byte
($0.25 / GB)
These prices are based on the actual number of bytes stored and the actual number of bytes of bandwidth used — after compression and data deduplication. This makes Tarsnap ideal for daily backups — many users have hundreds of archives adding up to several terabytes, but pay less than $10/month. [How?]
Tarsnap has no fixed or minimum monthly fees!
Tarsnap is billed only based on actual usage — if you only store a small amount of data, a $5 payment might last you for years.

There's already a pkg for this, so it could be installed into a jail. If you'd like to see an official FreeNAS plugin, create a feature request at bugs.freenas.org and post the issue number here.
