Enter the path to be shared the network that is authorized to access /mnt/files/images and, make sure that the “All dirs” and “Quiet” check boxes are selected. Now select “Save and Restart.” Next, navigate to Services -> NFS -> Shares and select the “+” icon, where you are presented with the configuration screen for creating a new NFS share. Login into the FreeNAS web interface and navigate to Services -> NFS -> Settings and make sure that the check box for enabling NFS is checked then specify the number of servers that will run (Hint: the default value of four should easily handle dozens of users). Next, let’s enable Network File System (“NFS”) service in FreeNAS so that /mnt/files/images can be accessed from Clonezilla. For the purpose of example, let’s assume there is an existing mount point located at /mnt/files and create a new subdirectory called images at that location. Let’s start by making a new directory in FreeNAS to hold the images we create using Clonezilla. The software versions used in this post were as follows: All steps involved assume you have a running implementation of FreeNAS. In this post I will describe how to use Clonezilla to create image files of disks or disk partitions and backup those images in real time over a network to a machine running FreeNAS. Clonezilla is an open source clone utility for doing bare-metal backup and recovery for disks and disk partitions. FreeNAS is an open source storage platform based on FreeBSD that supports file sharing across Windows, Apple, and Unix/Linux systems.
