Hi,
we have the following setup:
- FreeNAS1: Server for home and group drives
- FreeNAS2: Backup Server that receives the data from FreeNAS1 per rsync - with a per HBA attached Dell PowerVault 124T Tapechanger Device
Configuring the tapedevice on FreeNAS2:

We still have the problem that:
- we use the old version of bacula since that still comes with sqlite instead of postgres
- bacula does not startup automatically after a reboot
- we need to rescan for the Autochanger after a reboot
- we need to change the permissions on /dev/sa0 and /dev/ch0 after a reboot
But at least we have a backup we can take offsite...
Hope that helps people get startet with their bacula installation on FreeNAS...
