Migrate all settings from Windows to FreeNAS or any other

general discussion
1

Hi there,

if I want to change to another platform, for example from Windows to Linux or FreeNAS ( http://forums.freenas.org/threads/urbackup-and-freenas-8-3-backup-and-windows-baremetal-restore-fantastic-solution.9823/ ) - is there a possibility to simle migrate all settings of server (of course I have to change some after, for example the storage paths) and all clients, especially the non default settings (what to backup additionally on that client or anything like that)? What do I have to copy where and what services do I have to stop while copying or restart after to have that all migrated?

Best regards, Jochen

PS: can anyone confirm this tutorial for FreeNAS is working with the actual new version of FreeNAS? Or are there any problems? I actually only read of version 8.x in every comment to this thread…

For the settings you’d need the backup_server_settings.db and the clients table in backup_server.db .

Maybe the best way would be to copy both files and then to remove the backups from backup_server.db via the sqlite3 command line interface:

sqlite3 backup_server.db  

DELETE FROM files;
DELETE FROM files_del;
DELETE FROM files_new;
DELETE FROM backups;
DELETE FROM backup_images;
DELETE FROM assoc_images;

Recalculate statistics afterwards.

Don’t use ZFSOnLinux – I had massive problems with UrBackup (rsync like) workloads with 0.6.1. I’ve just installed 0.6.2 – maybe that’ll be more stable.

Hi Uroni,

i recently was trying to migrate but installation as tutored in the link does not work on actual FreeNAS with actual UrBackup download.

Any idea why this is not working?

No idea, something is wrong with the compiler (g++). Maybe update/install a different version (via pkg_add it seems).
