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

This approach did not work, because I used the wrong set of filesystems. See below for Error. This post has been replaced by Jails with embedded, but not jailed, ZFS datasets – how to mount/umount – corrected. NOTE: on yesterday’s (2023-10-04) reboot, the file systems did not properly mount. zfs get mounted said they were

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

I’m moving some backups from one bacula-sd to another bacula-sd. If you don’t know what that means, this is not the post for you. You need more Bacula knowledge. I’m retiring a host and moving some of the backups on that host to another host. This post follows on from Bacula – copying the latest

This post covers my debugging of a self-signed certificate on one of my Bacula instances. The error message is: I’ve encountered that unsupported certificate purpose message before: OpenVPN: unsupported certificate purpose SSL client vs server certificates and bacula-fd I always thought it was a server versus client issue. Now I’m not so sure. There was

As mentioned in several previous posts, I’m moving a server from one chassis to another. None of the hardware is coming over. Just the jails and data. These drives came from serverpartdeals.com. They are used and re-certified. Recently, I’ve been trying out two new 12TB drives. I’m looking forward to the reduced noise level, as

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

I see see these log messages on a regular basis. There is no distinct pattern. Some nights there might be 1, others 2. Today there were three: r730-01 is my main server in the basement. It runs a jail named pkg01, which does my nightly poudriere builds. Those jobs are launched from this crontab: That

I’ve used Bacula since at least January 2004 (so nearly 20 years). I liked it so much I dropped my deployment-in-motion of another tool (if you search lightly, you can find out which one). I liked it so much, I wrote a PostgreSQL backend for it. This post is not for Bacula novices. This post
