Hi there,
I run my own business and have been using FreeNAS on an HP Proliant Microserver for over a year but it just sits there. The factory HDD suddenly died and I had no solution. I use FreeNAS for Windows CIFS fileshares and to date there's no easy way to get Acronis/Crashplan or any other regular backup solutions to work. I'm fairly technical but FreeNAS is my first Linux based adventure. Thus, all the forums are very confusing.
So.
I have an exiting zfs drive.
I simply want to mirror it on a second drive. (I know a mirror is not a backup)
How to I set up the second drive as a mirror?
Do I have to copy all the data to a third drive and then setup the zfs mirror on the two drives, then copy the data back?
How about auto import on the second drive?
help please, you wonderful wonderful people..
