Hi Denis!

I have got a setup where important data-filled TrueNAS Scale (Debian based)
is replicated to another TrueNAS Scale dedicated for backup. Using NFS4
extended attributes etc. On the backup TrueNAS Scale I would also like to
make backups of the replicated data with dar, because we know that a
snapshot replication is not a full backup :-)

For this the best would be if I could run dar on the TrueNAS Scale itself
which doesn't seem to be a problem because it can compile the software,
everything seems nice, but the dar -V output is at the end of my mail.

As you can see, it cannot find any compression libraries, which is
essential for my dar backups.
What should I do? I really don't want to hack stuff on TrueNAS (apt doesn't
work out of the box), I would rather compile what's needed, because I think
that future upgrade would work the best this way and I would know what I am
doing.

What is your suggestion to be able to use dar as on a normal linux system?

Thanks,
Daniel
