Using Urbackup to Backup Computers to FreeNAS

[nello]

I need to replace CrashPlan and am considering urbackup.

Questions:

1. Is anyone else running urbackup on their FreeNAS (destination) to backup desktop/laptop Macs (source) over the Internet?
   
   
2. Are these instructions for installing urbackup on FreeNAS current? Will they work on FreeNAS ver 11?:

I use urbackup since ages. I'm on 11.0u2 with lastest version of urbackup. I only backup localy so not internet backup for me. Works perfectly.

Those instructions should work : https://forums.freenas.org/index.php?threads/install-urbackup-in-a-jail.22117/

Read all the thread. I urge you to go to the urbackup community forum for recent version : https://forums.urbackup.org/

I have server 2.2.4 beta. No issue.

I have Urbackup 2.2.11 on Freenas 11.1 and lots of internet clients.

I'm considering the update process for FreeNAS (11.1 to 11.2) and Urbackup in it's jail (old style to new), but it's a lot of moving parts and I'm a little cautious. Trying to see if I can make a new jail and restore to it for testing before doing all the changes at once.
