So I would consider myself to be "above average" when it comes to computer skills but need some assistance with my FreeNAS MineOS plugin. I originally started with a cheap FreeNAS box to see if I would actually use a home server. Long story short I am about to upgrade my server because I use it all the time. I am moving over to ECC RAM (I know I should have started with this) and a server board from what I have as well as expanding the storage. I currently have an Intel G3258 with 8Gb RAM on your typical desktop low-end MB and will be keeping the G3258 and moving to an AsRock E3C224 MB and 16Gb ECC RAM. Along with that, I will be adding 4 additional 2Tb drives the 6 existing drives I have in RaidZ2 and changing it to a RaidZ3 and 2 120 Gb SSD's mirrored for my jails.
I would like to move my jails to the mirrored SSD array. I know how to configure the jails to the array and I do not mind rebuilding my Plex and other jails. The only one I am concerned about is my MineOS server that is in my MineOS plugin jail. My friends and I have spent countless hours on that server and have done a lot of work in it. To my knowledge, there is no easy way to move jails since the system has so many connections to it that it will break if just "copied" over. I notice that the MineOS web UI has an archive feature but I am not sure where the data is archived and if I can manually copy that so that I can use it through the "import server" feature.
I have been trolling the forums for about 2 years and love my FreeNAS server. Just trying to wrap my head around how to backup this server so I can keep all of our hard work. Thanks guys, any and all assistance is greatly appreciated.
