Do you have any substatntial logs around mystery restart?

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I've been using RSYNC to back up the contents on a Freenas file server to a removable USB drive. For some reason when I unplug or plug-in this USB drive the Freenas server restarts which is not too big of a deal but it is annoying (it'd be great if someone knew why it restarted).<br />
My question is: Since I've completed a RSYNC backup locally to this removable drive, can I now take this removable USB drive home, set up a RSYNC server and complete the rest of the incremental backups at home or will this confuse the RSYNC server and require ALL the contents on the Freenas server to be copied again (this would obviously take forever since it is a very large amount of data traveling through a DSL connection). If would be great if this worked because I would no longer need to take a hard drive home every night.

A server is a computer program or a machine that waits for requests from other machines or software (clients) and responds to them. This architecture is called the client–server model. The clients may run on the same computer or may connect to the server over a network. The purpose of a server is to share data or hardware and software resources among clients. Typical computing servers are database servers, file servers, mail servers, print servers, web servers, game servers, and application servers.

Server Software

A desktop computer is a personal computer designed for use at a single location due to its size and power requirements, usually by one person. The most common configuration has a case that houses the power supply, motherboard, disk storage (usually one or more hard disk drives and optical disc drives); a keyboard and mouse for input; and computer monitor and printer for output. The case may be oriented horizontally and placed atop a desk or vertically and placed underneath or beside a desk.

The term "Backup" means the methods and processes involved to copy computer data (system data as well as application data) to media other than the ones where the data originally live (disk, tape, optical, cloud). "Restore" in turn means the methods and processes involved in data recovery, i. e., bringing back copied computer data to their original location. Backup/Restore primarily serves as a means of protection against data loss, be it due to disaster, corruption or sabotage. It can also be used for recovering data from an earlier point in time and even for cloning machines or applications. There is a wide variety of backup/restore software available, from expensive commercial products to free or open source tools.
