    2. Async Replication between appliances

    Timer based and menu driven async replication between a group of ZFS appliances. After a initial complete replication from Server 1 to Server 2 with a progress bar (in %) that can last days on a multi-Terabyte pool over your network, all following replications are incremental based on snaps. Only changed data must be copied. You can do this in short intervals like 15min to have a nearly realtime backup even with high capacity pools or pools under heavy load ex ESXi datastores. You can share/ read only access the target pool as a backup-drive between replications. You can use the target pool without restrictions, if you disable the job and read-only access. Replication is data pull only. You need to install replikation and a key only on a napp-it- backup-server that creates the replication jobs and receives the data. All other appliances that builds a napp-it replication-group (=Source-Replication server/ sender) do not need a key. So if all your server replicates to the same backup system, you will only need one key. All server where you replicate from (=sender) are free.

    • remote control of sources (managed on backup machine)
    • highspeed transfer via buffered netcat
    • snapmanagement via keep snaps forever or hold snaps for n days



    3. ACL management

    Modify SBM-ACL settings within napp-it on ZFS-folders, shares and regular files and folders. Support for ACL order (Solaris ACL are order sensitive, You cannot set this from Windows as Windows processes first deny the allow rules) . This is a comfort alternative to the free  /usr/bin/chmod cli command. The ACL extension allows to edit idmappings in the GUI and to restore user, smb groups and napp-it settings from a autojob-backup on napp-it Pro.


    4. Monitoring and other controlling tools (under development)

    - Centralized Monitoring of appliances (requires websocket capable browser)
    - GUID -> pyhical slot assignment for LSI SAS2 controllers example: Disk with Guid c8t5000000000000103d0 is located in backplane on controller 0, enclosure 1, slot 22
    - commercial use of the encryption Poef Web-UI featutes (Home use or encryption via CLI is free)
