FreeNAS Backup with DeltaCopy & Rsync

To synchronize backups from a Windows PC to a FreeNAS server, install DeltaCopy and run the DeltaCopy Client, pointing it to the FreeNAS server IP and entering the FreeNAS rsync module name. For Linux PCs, rsync must be installed first, then backups can be manually activated by issuing an rsync command from the PC to copy files either from the FreeNAS server to the PC or from the PC to the FreeNAS server while substituting the appropriate paths and IP address.

If you have a Windows PC:

Install DeltaCopy

To synchronise backup:

Run the DeltaCopy Client, and point it to your FreeNAS server IP (default [Link])
For Virtual Directory enter FreeNAS_rsync_server_module_name (case sensitive - as
entered in the Server Module setting on FreeNAS)

If you have a Linux PC:

It is necessary to install rsync on your PC; unfortunately, that is outside the remit of this
wiki.

Once installed, to activate a backup manually, you need to issue an rsync command from
your PC (referred to as the client in RSync).

To synchronise backup:

To copy from FreeNAS to PC

rsync -av [Link]::FreeNAS_rsync_server_module_name


/path_to_your_local/dir/

To copy from PC to FreeNAS:

rsync -av /path_to_your_local/dir/


[Link]::FreeNAS_rsync_server_module_name

Substitue -av with -avz to add file compression during transfer.
