Background: I recently got hired by a new company to be there in house IT person as the business was expanding and the ma and pa shops around town couldn't keep up with the demand. Coming in I inherited a windows server 2012 r2 that was supposed to have "triple redundancy" after explaining to the CEO that RAID is not a f*ing backup, I went to the task of making some file servers.
Fast forward to today, I have two FreeNAS systems set up and running! The first one which I refer to as unit 0 is set up as the main backup location for the 2012 r2 server Via iSCSI. Last night was the first time the Windows server was backup since 12-11-15........ Yeah it took it 13hours to copy all user data over but it copied it and I'm happy for now!
Now my task is to get the second machine I built to be a back up for unit 0. I have been trying to setup rsync from unit 0 to this what we will refer to as unit 1. When I go into unit 0 and attempt to add a rsync module I get an error that it can't create it.
Is this a no-no trying to rsync a iSCSI target? Am I just an idiot and missing something......well we know I'm an idiot so yeah. Any help would be much appreciated!
