I use Vortexbox. It has rsync configured by default. You can install
rsync server on Windows to.

In FreeNAS go to Services > rsync > Setup rsync client and set a
schedule. Done.

Here is how I did it.

Picked up a old HP dc7600 SFF from the basement at work. It has room
for two SATA disks and a DVD player.

Burn FreeNAS to CD, put a USB stick in the computer and boot from the
FreeNAS CD. Note the ip adress on the screen. If you don't have a
screen look in your router for the ip adress.

Surf to that ip from another computer. Log on with user admin, password
freenas.

Follow this guide to setup JBOD.
http://freenas.org/documentation:setup_and_user_guide:software_raid

Go to Services > Rsync > Rsync client.
Set the Vortexbox ip address.
User “root”.
Module “files”.

If you don’t use Vortexbox use your own settings.

Set a schedule. That’s it. No single command was typed.

My schedule.

Vortexbox shutsdown 01:00 if no player have been used after 23:00. It
boots up again at 06:00. Runs Clear and rescan at 06:30.

Freenas boots up every Sunday morning at 07:00 and runs the backup at
07:30 and shutsdown 6 hours later.
