  1. i apreciate you shared your method, i will look into LuckyBackup, the way i copy my files is using cygwin with rsync , using a bash script with a list of directories to be sent to unraid, once a month i just run the script and all the new/modified files are sent to unraid , also have a docker gitea in unraid to keep projects versioning so i just let the unraid parity process to execute once a month and that way i spect to have redundancy of the files in my two unraid disks, so its mostly an automated process if i get a disk failure on my unraid box i hope i will be able to recover all the data either from the parity or from the data disk and in the future feel free to delete files from my windows box knowing there is a safe copy on unraid yes im not saving files history , i use the unraid box to store personal files from my main windows pc (with the risk you mention of corrupted files) thank you for pointing that out
  2. that would be also interesting but how would you sync the two disks constantly ?
  3. awesome , thank you for the info i will go ahead and setup one parity and one data, yes i agree, i choosed unraid over other home solutions because i prefer to lose partial data probably "homework folder" over losing everything .. @itimpi i saw the spaceinvader one explanation, so yea that was part of the reason i was wondering if it will work
  4. Hi i have 2 disks of 6tb and want to use them to backup my data with redundancy, i've readed that using 1 parity disk will suffice to recover from one data disk failure but im not sure if this applies if there is only 2 disks (one working as parity the other as the only data disk) will this setup protect me from the failure of any of the disks ? or is it necesary to have at least 2 data disks and one parity ? or what would be the best setup to protect me from the failure of one of the disks ?
  5. So after playing around , i found that i could create a share then take the path of that share (/mnt/user/repos) and when creating the gitea docker we can create a rule to map host /mnt/user/CyberRepos to guest /data , that way when the docker is created the git files actually show in the share . Then i found and option in plugin "fix common problems" to exclude my share from getting its file permissions changed which i guess might help to keep the files safe ? The last test i made was to remove the docker to see if the git files remained which it seems to be the case. But again, im a noob so i might be taking some shortcuts or bad practices, hope someone can confirm this is the right approach to keep git files safe.
  6. im new to docker and unraid and was able to install this docket gitea, i just have some doubts, are the git repositories are contained inside the img file ? or those are actually saved in the host filesystem (appdata ?) are the git files in risk when the docker gets update/removed ? My objective is to have my home git server with the files being saved in the unraid array (i know files are already there) but have the git files accesible as a share in case i want to move them somewhere else , basically i would not want to have files encapsulated in an img file or dependant somehow to the docker container.
