I asked long ago that all plex users should share their working exclusions so I can recommend some

Yes there is an option (per container settings „dont stop container“). The downside is the not assured integrity (turn off „verify backup“ for that container as well then)

Just save it with some name without extension (or with .sh) somewhere (not on the boot device!) Make it executable with „chmod +x myscript.sh“ and set the it as script inside plugin.

That script looks good to me. At least it would run.

Maybe the other mentioned patterns are matching?

No, currently not

I checked it and I bet that /mnt/cache/appdata/Plex-Media-Server/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server/ is being skipped during backup because there are no other folders left beside Cache Media dn Metadata? And therefore its empty?

It seems, that ultiple containers use the same volume which leads to those "od time differ" messages. There is a feature planned which groups containers for that reason. Exclude the mentioned path in one of them.

Share a log, not a config. The new plugin only creates archives when there is something to back up. Thats interesting, because iots deleted as root. Never hat issues with this. Anyway, I dont check the deletion for success, maybe I should. But if you run rm -rf "/mnt/user/SuperPlex Backup/ab_20231031_063003" in a terminal, it should not work as well. Please try and report. Soon (tm). The newest beta has global exclusion pattern option. No, the templates are being restored (you see that in Docker -> Add container) but not created (yet). Its planned, that a future version re-creates the dockers as they were before. Those xmls are copies of the docker templates.

Its planned that the restore will create the dockers as they were during backup. In a future update.

I wanted to post "The todays update contains the copy feature" but github is experiencing major issues with repositories, making me unable to do anything. So Ill try the next days to publish it.

Do we need this fir VM meta as well? i could add a simple copy part for the flash backup if this helps. Noted.

Misunderstood that, sorry. The new plugin will ALWAYS create separate archives

A new beta will be out in the next 30 minutes: https://forums.unraid.net/topic/136995-pluginbeta-appdatabackup/?do=findComment&comment=1322934

New beta will be out in the next 30 minutes, containing: Global pattern exclusion list Setting to notify user if containers were updated during backup Do container updates between backup stop/starting it https://forums.unraid.net/topic/137710-plugin-appdatabackup/?do=findComment&comment=1287369

tdarr mapped volume time differs, so it seems the data inside it gets modified during backup. Such things are not handled yet but a container grouping (not yet available) seems to fix those issues here. Do you have https for your Unraid UI enabled? This would prevent the browser from loading mixed content then, because the png storage is http-only. Will check this Which different paths? To backup to? Separate the backup? No, why should it be disabled? The plugin is able to create separate archives, one per container.

You have the same issue as @TrondHjertager (https://forums.unraid.net/topic/137710-plugin-appdatabackup/?do=findComment&comment=1319516). I dont know why gzip dotn like the data. As mentioned, some Plex exclusions could make sense, but I dont have the general exclusions list from the plex users. And I dont use plex, so..

I‘ll see

Hmm, did you had a look into the device log? Feels like IO makes the filesystem ro (read only) because of errors?

See backup log tab, its all documented

This setting does exactly what its called: It updates the container(s) after backup, if update is available. This version works independent (previous Appdata backup plugin versions needed a separate plugin).

Just had a look into it, but all I see is a IO error from gzip. Nothing more. Maybe some exclusions for plex would help but I still have the general list. Some users set some specific paths as exclusion inside Plex.

Please share a debug log

With an error in place, the success info should not come up. I will check this later.

So, simple pngs. I will check this.
