Hi all,
Since long I have a FreeNAS (microserver) running for multiple home users. I have also deployed a FreeNAS with same configuration in an SMB.
All data is on the network share. No local data on the client PC's/laptops.
For redundancy the data disk is mirrored, and for backup a cron job rsyncs the data each night to a 3rd internal disk.
However I am not fully happy with this backup solution : If a file gets corrupt, the file on the backup disk gets overwritten at night.
I am looking for a way to :
- Perform a full backup once to this internal disk, and from then do incremental or differential backups each night
- Keep only last 10 days or so.
- Easy recovery process, file based. So that a user can recover a file from a backup of 5 days ago without rolling back the entire data disk.
So I guess this means that copying snapshots is out?
- Backup and recovery preferrably via the GUI
- All managed and running automatically on the FreeNAS.
- Reporting?
Can anyone please tell me if this is configurable or external programs/plugins are needed?
Thx.
