Hi Guys,

Just thought I'd let you know I have made a script for sending datasets incrementally to a USB backup (or other) drive for freeNAS (and freebsd). I use it to do a backup every week and take the drive to work for "offsite"

https://github.com/J-C-B/freenas_and_iohyve/blob/master/freenas_backup.sh

its not a feature in freeNAS (you cant select individual datasets) and as there are no real easy ways i could find, I took a few forum posts, a little love, and a sprinkle of zfs magic and threw them together in a script.

I also create a runid so it can be tracked in my FreeNAS app for Splunk, but may be useful for others to join events together on too.

Happy for critique :)

Cheers

John
