| 732742 | 2009-01-04 09:56:00 | 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 To back up, say all the home directories, to another disk on the same machine, or perhaps another *nix machine mounted via NFS, just do something like: tar czvf /path/to/other/backup.tar.gz /home. Put that in root's cronfile. If you don't want each new backup to overwrite the previous (which the above command will do), do something like this: tar czvf /path/to/other/backup.`date -%d.%m.%y`.tar.gz /home If you want to backup to a remote (*nix) machine, you need to have an account on that machine, and ssh(d) and rsync installed/running on both ends. Do you have this? Is the other machine running FreeBSD? |
