| 732731 | 2008-12-27 09:41:00 | Try Synctoy (www.microsoft.com) - I know you can backup from Windows PC's either way < -> , so It may work with freenas - simply install it on a Windows Machine, tell it to back up what ever data/folder on freenas to where ever you want on another PC on the LAN, or External drive possibly connected to the machine that has freenas.. | wainuitech (129) | ||
| 732732 | 2008-12-27 09:53:00 | Anybody got any easy suggestions on how to automatically backup my freenas server either to another system on the network and to another harddrive? :thanks Wow. I wish everything was automatic for me. Do you want copies of files or maybe an image for example? Next time I want to post here all I have to do is think about it and of course it will happen in an automatic manner. |

Anyway, SourceForge looks like it might be able to help you (There's many different ways described on this page): apps.sourceforge.net |

In the event of a fire or theft I would want to recover as soon as possible. This does not happen in an automatic manner in my view. |

| 732735 | 2008-12-27 18:07:00 | Thanks Wainuitech hadn't really thought of using synctoy is reverse (its currently used to backup selected folders to the server). Thanks Beeswax I'll have a good read of that one. A couple of mates had suggested that rsync isn't always reliable, will give it a try anyway though. Sweep all I wanted at this stage was the automatic copying of the data, yes it doesn't protect it from a fire or whatever but once the data's copied its rather simple to take the storage media offsite if I wanted to. Files, images whatever format, I'm currently just looking at the various ways. |

| 732736 | 2008-12-28 03:17:00 | Looks like this (www.freenaskb.info) script might be the sort of thing I'm looking for. Will give it a try in the next couple of days. If anybodies got other suggestions keep them coming. |
