Hi,
I finally put together a backup freenas server using Dell PE T410 with 6 HDD mix brands and size (4 x 1TB + 2 x 2TB) in one pool. i set the pool as mirror as i don't have enough 2TB drive so i can get one bigger pool 3.6TB as my share file is 2.9TB. i know its not the right way, but it will be Turning on /backing up once a week. (is there a better way to do it?)
The problem i have is when the backup file is been copied to the backup server 192.168.1.11 i can see on the backup share folder the are two copies of the same folders and not all the folders/files are been copied, see eg below:
Backup
Tank>Folder1
>Folder2
>SMB>Folder1
>Folder2
where the original share looks like this
Storage>Folder1
>Folder2
>Folder3
>Folder4
looking via the CLI does not show a separate or 2 copies of the same SMB file
For testing I set up(via the legacy GUI) the Rsync on both freenas servers (11.2 BETA3) with the following configurations:
Primary Server 192.168.1.10
Dataset= /mnt/Tank/SMB
Permissions=unix
user=james
group=wheel
Rsync modual
Modual name = sync
path= /mnt/Tank/SMB
Access mode=rw
user=root
group=wheel
Rsync Task
path= /mnt/Tank/SMB
Remote host = 192.168.1.11
Remote modual name = sync
Direction=push
Time / Date= 0, 30, every hour/day/month/day of the week
user=root
services = on
sharing - windows SMB
Path= /mnt/Tank/SMB
name=Storage
Export Read Only=false
Browsable to Network Clients=true
Allow Guest Access=false
Backup Server 192.168.1.11
Dataset = /mnt/backup
Permissions=unix
user=root
group=wheel
Rsync modual
Modual name = sync
path= /mnt/backup
Access mode=rw
user=root
group=wheel
Rsync Task
path=/mnt/backup
Remote host = 192.168.1.10
Remote modual name = sync
Direction=pull
Time / Date= 0, 30, every hour/day/month/dayof the week
user=root
services = on
sharing - windows SMB
Path= /mnt/backup
name=Tank
Export Read Only=false
Browsable to Network Clients=true
Allow Guest Access=false
Any idea why it create two copies of the same share and not coping all the files?
The only thing i can think(but not sure) is the following:
1. Dataset permission - one user is set to james the other is to root but both in the same wheel group
2. users acc not setup properly
3. primary server pool not been upgraded yet, was holding with that.
Please let me know if you need more informarion
Thank you
