Rob Lagesse has created two easy FreeNAS tutorials. These howto’s are aimed at Windows users wanting to set up a NAS server but having no or little experience with alternative operating systems. All step-by-step with many screenshots. If you’re an advanced FreeNAS/FreeBSD user you may find these two post interesting: FreeNAS & online snapshot backups , with a script how to backup your data to an online hoster, e.g. Bluehost , or this post: Diy NAS + Xbox 360 = R0X .

FreeNAS 8.0.4-RELEASE-p2 is available for immediate download . Samba has been upgraded to 3.6.5 to address CVE-2012-2011 which is a critical vulnerability. All FreeNAS users who are using CIFS are urged to upgrade. A new version of Samaba , the open source implementation of the SMB/CIFS networking protocol that enables file and print sharing between FreeNAS and Windows, has been released to fix a nine year old security vulnerability that allows remote code execution as the “root” user from an anonymous connection. Samba has been upgraded to 3.6.4 to address CVE-2012-1182 which is a critical vulnerability.

We boot the FreeNAS server from the LiveCD disk and configure a simple disk that is accessed by CIFS and FTP.
Creating Windows Shares on FreeNAS
Now that we have completed all of the boring initial setup of our FreeNAS server, we can get on to the fun stuff. (For those of you who have not done the boring initial setup, I would suggest that you quickly catch up !) If you are new to non-Windows operating systems, you may think it rather odd that we are using a FreeBSD based system ( FreeNAS ) to store files from a Windows system.Windows Backup With Rsync and FreeNAS
Backups can be really frustrating for people. I would have to say that managing backups is probably the one thing that I detest the most about working in IT. It is a clunky, clumsy process that often does not present any problems until you need it. Because of these issues, many people do not back up their systems. Unfortunately, this is one of those things about computers that you absolutely need to do , regardless of how difficult, annoying, and painful it may be. I have spent a lot of time looking at this issue and I have come up with what I think is one of the better ways to backup a system without relying on the end user to perform regular backups manually.

physdiskwrite This is a small Windows NT/2000/XP command line tool that makes it possible to write disk images onto raw disks, like CF cards. While there is some protection against accidentally overwriting your hard disk, I CAN'T TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR LOST DATA – YOU USE THIS PROGRAM ON YOUR OWN RISK.
KVM (for Kernel-based Virtual Machine) is a full virtualization solution for Linux on x86 hardware containing virtualization extensions (Intel VT or AMD-V). It consists of a loadable kernel module, kvm.ko, that provides the core virtualization infrastructure and a processor specific module, kvm-intel.ko or kvm-amd.ko. KVM also requires a modified QEMU although work is underway to get the required changes upstream.
