Creating a Time Capsule instance using Samba, FreeBSD, and ZFS

I recently moved a Time Capsule instance from a FreeBSD host into a jail. Today, I’m going to create a new Time Capsule which uses Samba instead of AFP. Why? Samba seems to be the preferred solution because AFP has been deprecated. It still works, but let’s go Samba. Not covered in this post, but

Moving time capsule from host to jail and connecting my MacBook to ZFS on FreeBSD

I have Macbooks at home I use them. I use Time Capsule on ZFS on FreeBSD to back them up. In this post: FreeBSD 13.2 OSX Ventura 13.6 I first implemented this directly on the FreeBSD host. Today, I am moving that service into a jail. This post will roughly outline the changes I made

Bacula – copying the latest jobs over from one SD to another

I want to copy the latest backups for each Bacula client over to a new host. I already do this, on an automated basis, for recent backups, primarily to have the same backups in two different places. In this case, I want to do this once. This post might also be a good introduction to

mysqldump: Error: ‘Access denied; you need (at least one of) the PROCESS privilege(s) for this operation’ when trying to dump tablespaces

I’m linking this because I use both articles on a regular basis. Sometimes you want a user which can only dump the database, but nothing else. Fortunately, I searched, and found a

Moving bacula-sd into a FreeBSD jail

In this post: Bacula 7.4 FreeBSD 11.1 py-iocage 0.9.9.2 I recently wrote about Converting a Dell R710 into a ZFS-based FreeBSD 11.1 tape library bacula-sd and then about getting the drives ready. That system, henceforth referred to as the r710 is now ready for the Bacula setup. Last night I created a jail and installed

Bacula – ran out of space, moved some volumes to another zpool

I’m using Bacula 9.0.3 for this post, on FreeBSD 10.3 and 11.1. I did not document this as I went along, however, the details should be enough to get you started. NOTE: when I refer to the bacula-sd configuration, I mean the bacula-sd in question, not necessarily on the same server as bacula-dir. This will
