Thanks - - - FreeNas was one of the contenders that I looked at when I started
working on setting up the NAS box. There were a few things that tipped me
toward OpenMediaVault - - among them being able to use other systems
besides zfs (JFS is one that I was recommended for use with database usage),
the integrated (not totally sure how to set it up though) VirtualBox
stuff is probably
what tipped things in OpenMediaVault's favor.

Great to hear your recommendation though - - - will keep it in mind
for reference!

Any suggestions for a great backup system?
