Command line tool to create a configuration backup?

[Patrick M. Hausen]

Hi all,

is there a command line tool in FreeNAS to create and restore a config backup? I'd love to set up a cron job that archives the config on my RAIDZ2 data pool. In case anything happens to my boot device(s) I can do a clean install, import the data pool ... easy.

Thanks!
Patrick

I have a configuration backup script ( save_config.sh) in this GitHub repository:
