FreeNAS 9.1 has support for a CrashPlan plugin. I got it to work, after some typical futzing about with FreeBSD and it’s Linux compatibility libraries.

Fingers crossed.

Text Triumvirate:

The Text Triumvirate is an alliance between the zsh, vim, and tmux. Each of these venerable tools is extremely powerful in its own right; however, together they are an unmatched productivity force that rules all forms of text manipulation. This post aims to provide an overview of how to create a highly functional and easy to configure Text Triumvirate for those new to this tool chain.
