[UNRAID 6.7.1 easy way to backup and restore specific dockers]

Hi guys,

I use UserScripts to prepare/back up appdata (Dockers) and domains (VMs) and then i use Duplicacy to make backups. In Duplicacy i can then restore different versions from a dropdown. This way i can restore specific docker/VM back to Unraid. 

I'm an newbie at Unraid, rsync and tar so maybe this it totally wrong but it works for me.

Please tell me if you have some idea's on how to improve (or maybe tell me to scrap it all 😄)

 

 

DOCKERS
 

#!/bin/bash

# Get all running containers and store them in $CONTAINERS
mapfile -t CONTAINERS < <( docker inspect --format='{{.Name}}' $(docker ps -q --no-trunc) | cut -c2- )

# show in logrun
echo "Appdata backup started - Starting to shut down dockers"

# Show notification in Unraid (alert, warning, normal)
/usr/local/emhttp/webGui/scripts/notify -s "Notice [Script] -Appdata backup started" -i "normal" -d "Starting to shut down dockers"

# Stop all running containers
for container in "${CONTAINERS[@]}"; do
  echo "Stopping ${container}..."
  docker stop ${container} 1> /dev/null
done

# show in logrun
echo "Dockers shutted down. Starting backup"

# Show notification in Unraid (alert, warning, normal)
/usr/local/emhttp/webGui/scripts/notify -s "Warning [Script] -Appdata backup running" -i "warning" -d "Dockers shutted down. Starting backup"

# Backup appdata
echo "Backing up /mnt/user/appdata/"
rsync -a --delete /mnt/user/appdata/ /mnt/user/backups/appdatabackups/

# Show notification in Unraid (alert, warning, normal)
/usr/local/emhttp/webGui/scripts/notify -s "Warning [Script] -Appdata backup running" -i "warning" -d "Backup done. Starting dockers"

# Start all containers that were previously running
for container in "${CONTAINERS[@]}"; do
  echo "Starting ${container}..."
  docker start ${container} 1> /dev/null
done

# show in logrun
echo "Dockers started. Starting to tar files"

# Show notification in Unraid (alert, warning, normal)
/usr/local/emhttp/webGui/scripts/notify -s "Warning [Script] -Appdata backup running" -i "warning" -d "Dockers started. Starting to tar files"

# Compress appdata and remove original folders
find /mnt/user/backups/appdatabackups/ -type d -maxdepth 1 -mindepth 1 -exec tar zcvf {}.tar.gz {} --remove-files \;

# show in logrun
echo "Appdata backup done - Ready to do Duplicacy backup"

# Show notification in Unraid (alert, warning, normal)
/usr/local/emhttp/webGui/scripts/notify -s "Notice [Script] - Appdata backup done" -i "normal" -d "Ready to do Duplicacy backup"

VMs

 

#!/bin/bash

#Empty vm list
echo "" > /tmp/vms-running.txt

# show in logrun
echo "VMs backup started - Starting to shut down VMs"

# Show notification in Unraid (alert, warning, normal)
/usr/local/emhttp/webGui/scripts/notify -s "Notice [Script] -VMs backup started" -i "normal" -d "Starting to shut down VMs"

#Get all running vms except VM-TO-NOT-SHUTDOWN server
for VM in $(virsh list --state-running --name); do
  if [[ ! "$VM" == "VM-TO-NOT-SHUTDOWN" ]] ; then
    virsh shutdown "$VM"

#Write running vms to list
echo "$VM" >> /tmp/vms-running.txt

fi
done

# sleep if no vm is started to get next notice
sleep 5

# show in logrun
echo "VMs shutted down. Starting backup"

# Show notification in Unraid (alert, warning, normal)
/usr/local/emhttp/webGui/scripts/notify -s "Warning [Script] -VMs backup running" -i "warning" -d "VMs shutted down. Starting backup"

# Backup appdata
echo "Backing up /mnt/user/domains/"
rsync -a --delete /mnt/user/domains/ /mnt/user/backups/vmbackups/

# Show notification in Unraid (alert, warning, normal)
/usr/local/emhttp/webGui/scripts/notify -s "Warning [Script] -VMs backup running" -i "warning" -d "Backup done. Starting VMs"

#Get all running vms except backup server
for VM in $(cat /tmp/vms-running.txt); do
  virsh start "$VM"

done

# show in logrun
echo "VMs started. Starting to tar files"

# Show notification in Unraid (alert, warning, normal)
/usr/local/emhttp/webGui/scripts/notify -s "Warning [Script] -VMs backup running" -i "warning" -d "VMs started. Starting to tar files"

# Compress appdata and remove original folders
find /mnt/user/backups/vmbackups/ -type d -maxdepth 1 -mindepth 1 -exec tar zcvf {}.tar.gz {} --remove-files \;

# show in logrun
echo "VMs backup done - Ready to do Duplicacy backup"

# Show notification in Unraid (alert, warning, normal)
/usr/local/emhttp/webGui/scripts/notify -s "Notice [Script] - VMs backup done" -i "normal" -d "Ready to do Duplicacy backup"

 

[[SUPPORT] TEMPLATE masterwishx - urbackup official]

Hi guys,

Maybe a stupid question but the field in the GUI called: Backup path i notices that in binhex it said /media and in the official one i said /backups

 

My questions:
1 do i leave it at /backups or do i need to put some values here like /mnt/user/appdata/influxdb as im only looking to back up my InfluxDB?
2 i want this backup to be stored in the cloud if my server crashes. Is this possible or do i have to buy the InfluxDB Cloud service?

Have a nice day

Thank you so much @ghost82

[Reserved VM RAM & CPU]

Hi guys,

 

I'm sorry but i have to ask a question that might be stupid.

 

I have a few VM's that i have pinned some RAM for but i just want to clearify that this RAM is not "locked" when the VM is not running?

 

Have a nice day.

[Ultimate UNRAID Dashboard (UUD)]

Please forgive me for asking stupid questions.

 

I successfully installed Netdata (Docker) and i looks like all values are the same as unraid but i have to look in separate browserwindow. How does this work in this project?

 

I would like all stuff in my unraid, is this possible?

Best regards

@DrBobke hi,

I'm about to build a good machine. Can you tell me what hardware you ended up with?
