Tarsnap + pfSense

[ericab]

any chance tarsnap could be included in the avaliable packages for pfsense ?

ive tried to build it, as the instructions here say:
https://www.tarsnap.com/download.html

and i get this:

checking build system type... i386-unknown-freebsd8.1

If you meant to cross compile, use `--host'.
See `config.log' for more details

here is the log referenced in the last line:

any ideas how to get this to build ?

id like to begin weekly file-system backups.

Looks as if you are trying to compile on your pfSense-box. Missing header-files: error: no include path in which to search for stdio.h
Other missing things too…

Better to compile that on a full install FreeBSD-Box and transfer the respective files to your pfSense.

Why would you want to run that on your router?

Just backup your config.xml file periodically and the rest of the system can be reinstalled from cd/usb/etc.
