Hi,
I've just installed a fresh Freenas 8.2 and thought I was nearing the end of initial setup, however, I have set up cron jobs to run half hourly local backups from three local drives to a fourth...
The commands are executing but, unlike Freenas7, where a duplicate process would be knocked back by an existing one, I'm getting more and more processes running..
and the data is somehow building up and filling the 1TB disk..
Perhaps starting processes with cron isn't as smart as using the rsync sheduler?
However, my impression from using Freenas7 is that 'client' and 'server' would be separate machines.
I've created a module and rsyncd task to pull data from one drive to the other but I'm not getting any rsyncd processes.
It seems a shame, when the scheduling functionality is clearly present in freenas8, not to include a local drive to local drive rsync option like we had before.
Any pointers would be appreciated.
Cheers
Nigel
