Thank you, kind sir. I was unaware of this option. I will hightail it right over.

So I just want a folder copy program from one server to another. I don't really want any vaults or other formats, just a straight folder copy app. I set up Lucky Backup server times using a share from my backup server. Folder from server A gets copied to /SHARE/SAME FOLDER on server B. Cron jobs are set up to copy certain folders on certain days. Folder A gets copied on Monday, Folder B gets copied on Tuesday, etc. Jobs are named MONDAY, TUESDAY, WEDNESDAY, etc. I set up the cron jobs, and it works fine for a few days. Then one day I will go back in just to check to see if everything is working and ALL the jobs are no longer there. Not empty; just the entire job list is gone. Has anyone experienced this? It's very weird, and I'm tired of setting up the jobs over and over again. Thanks for any help you can provide.

OK, I will re-allocate them as cache drives and start a transfer. Its a holiday here so I might not get to it until tomorrow. Im curious if it will reproduce as well.

Got a weird one. New Server Build: AMD Ryzen 5 5600G with Radeon Graphics @ 3900 MHz 32 GB Memory 1 8TB Parity Drive (Barracuda) 6 8TB Data Drives (Barracuda) 2 4TB Cache Drives (Barracuda Brought up server and began copying Data over from Ext USB JBod Cabinet Data copied at normal speeds and once they were about 75% I invoked the mover. Mover runs at about 100+ MB/s for a few minutes and then crawls down to about 1 or 2 MB/s and stays there. I did a bunch or other things like unloading all plugins, dockers, etc, reboots, etc. Same thing happened every boot. Replaced all SATA cables. Same thing. Replaced 12 port Sata card that was 1X with a new 4x card. Same thing. Got frustrated and decided that maybe the 2 4TB drives were defective. I removed the two 4TB cache drives, pointed all shares at “array”, copied system data over and rebooted. System Then ran like a champ, copying data straight to array ran about between 125 - 180 MB/s and stayed there. Out of curiosity, I mounted the two 4TB drives back as unassigned and started copying the data over. RUNS like a champ at 120 - 200MB/s. SO obviously, NOT a hardware/drive issue. Finally, the question: What would cause a drive mounted as cache to run so slow and normally when taken out of the cache pool. Reboots solve the issue briefly but then it slows down over a few minutes. Im guessing that there is something clogging resources that builds up while using the mover and stays there. Not sure as I have not been a programmer in about thirty years but it seems like resources are slowly being consumed. Yes, I can upload a log file if you want but since it’s running great right now, I doubt it would contain relevant data. Anyone got any ideas? Since this system is primarily for data storage and an over powered just for that, I don't really need a cache drive, but it might come in handy for dockers and the like. I appreciate any ideas or comments.

I figured it. out - I never added the path in the config.

Hello: I am using Krusader to poke around, but for some reason, I can't seem to get an unassigned disk to show up. Am I missing something? Thanks

Good morning: I have a server where the drives are all on an external USB array. I am setting up a new server with internal drives and want to copy the data over to the new server. If I shut down the first server and plug the USB array into the new server, will the drives show up as unassigned where I can just mount them and copy the data over to the new server? I assume this will be faster than over the network and that as unassigned drives I can always just plug it back into the original server? Thanks

Excellent, and thank you.

Hello: Just wanted to confirm. What's the easiest/Best way to reset a USB Key from an existing server as if a new setup, without screwing around with licensing? I want to retire an existing server and set up a new one on different hardware/new name/drives, etc. I know that the new config resets the drives but leaves all of the config info/dockers / apps. etc. If I copy the key file or download the key using Connect, and then recreate the USB from scratch and then just copy the key file back, will this work? Thank you

I didnt know it had scheduled maint. Nothing in the editor specifies this. appdate backup is the only scheduled event.

Essentially just a big ole file server so not a lot of custom scripts. The only thing on it at the moment is plex. Appdate backup didn't have a time but I added one (thx) where would custom scripts be located?

Gotcha - mediavault-diagnostics-20240916-0933.zip

from what I can tell, it's set to back up weekly and no specific time is set. This happens every morning at 2.

So if I am watching a movie using plex, every morning at exactly 2 am, plex stops and I have to log in a start it again. Is there a way to tell what's happening at 2am that causes this? There is nothing in the logs that I can see. Kinda funny but annoying. Thx
