Experience True Backup Freedom
Asigra teamed up with iXsystems to offer Asigra’s software to the multitude of TrueNAS and TrueNAS CORE (formerly known as FreeNAS) users. The Asigra Plug-In is easy to install and manage. The Asigra DS-System repository software runs natively on TrueNAS controller – which frees up resources by not requiring an external host to run the actual backup software on. If you’re already using TrueNAS or TrueNAS CORE, it is a no-brainer to install and test it out.
