How to: Backup to local disks

Western Digital Drives - The Preferred Drives of FreeNAS and TrueNAS CORE
Got another plain disk for backups. It's in the standard rotation of the other 2, (8TB & 750GB).
Perform the snapshot regardless of the size of the backup media. Let the SysAdmin delete older snapshots to make space as needed.
I've added 2 external disk enclosures that I've bought more recenly and have used successfully for backups. The latest is also both the greatest and most expensive, almost 10x the cost of the other newer one. But, it's solidly built, and could last 5 to 10 years.
Updated the spelling of ASRack to ASRock Rack, which is what the company uses.
I've added features to the script and am now publishing the changes.
Added link to eSATA to PCIe back panel. Updated the wording a bit.
