FREENAS USB BACKUP HOW TO

(Don't be scared off by this) It is perfectly do able it just might take a little more time to figure out how to setup everything. Is this possible?įreeNAS isn't exactly user friendly, as it is meant for enterprise environments run by a dedicated IT person or team. As for the NAS backup, I want something that can do a version chain, like differential backups so I can pull a deleted file or older version from a month back, also to an external HDD or low end NAS. So if I add or removed a movie/pic, I want that change reflected on the backup when it runs that evening. One is for my movies & pictures and I just want it to sync with an external HDD or low end NAS box. However, everything I have read is that backups are a PITA on FreeNAS and most recommend a 2nd server, which I do NOT want! I need 2 types of backups.

FREENAS USB BACKUP WINDOWS 7

Simple alternative: Map the drive on a Windows 7 machine, and use Cobian backup, which enables you to back up mapped drives. File versioning and snapshots should still be used where required. This is simply a script to backup when you wish to feel safe in the event of a fire. That’s it! This has been tested on FreeNAS 8.3.0, 9.1.0 and 9.1.1. You can remove this if need be, however you may find the external drive will quickly fill up without further scripting. If a file is deleted on disk, so is the file on the backup when the backup is next run (–delete command).

Remember that this is a current backup and does not include history.

sh file you have created and create a cron job within the FreeNAS GUI to run it at the specified days and times that you want. It will usually sit in one of the last lines of the output and be mapped to the mount point with the same name you called the volume. You can find out what it is by running the command below.

If using FreeNAS 9.1.1, the device name will be a little different to /dev/da1.

In this scenario, our mountpoint /mnt/main is what we are backing up.

This is the case for FreeNAS 9.1.0 and 8.3.0

Make sure to substitute your device name with the one you found in step 2, and offsite with whatever name you called the volume.

Rsync -av -delete /mnt/main /mnt/offsite/data | mail -s "Offsite Backup Log" /mnt/offsite

Stick something similar to this in the file: #!/bin/bash.

Create a backup shell script called backup.sh or similar and chmod execute permissions on it to root.

Head into view disks and take careful note of the device path.

Give it an easy name to remember, in this case we will call it ‘offsite’ (While technically the drive doesn’t sit offsite, the point of this is so that it can be taken home each night by a staff member) Mount your external drive within the FreeNAS GUI using the legacy UFS filesystem.Thankfully, we came up with a quick solution that doesn’t involve too much stuffing around. Sure, you can setup ZFS snapshots and then hack it together to ‘zfs send’ these snapshots off to your external drive, however this isn’t always pretty and can sometimes be hard to restore from. FreeNAS is an excellent operating system but one thing it lacks is the ability to schedule or otherwise automate backups to an external USB drive.
