Can anyone help me figure out how to mount an image backup of a windows client machine? I've tried multiple things listed below, but have had no success so far. If I go to the webui via Unraid and click the "Mount Image" button, I get the following error: Mounting image failed. Please see server log file for details. Error creating mountpoint at "/media/5600x-Dsktp/250224-0203_Image_C/contents0". Err: 2 In the server log it shows this: 2025-03-01 14:04:26,349 DEBG 'urbackup' stdout output: ERROR: Image mounting failed: Error creating mountpoint at "/media/5600x-Dsktp/250224-0203_Image_C/contents0". Err: 2 I think this is expected behavior because it is my understand that a docker can't mount anything (feel free to correct me if I'm wrong here). Anyway, as an alternative I tried downloading the Urbackup server onto my windows client machine. At first, I tried accessing the backup location on my Unraid sever via the web gui of the windows server, and although I can see my client listed when I click "Show all clients", I think it is blocking me from accessing the backups because it seems (according to the manual) that it locks accessing a client's backups to a particular server (which in this case would be the server running in the unraid docker). So then I tried using the tools that come installed with Urbackup server on windows. If I choose "assemble_disk_image.bat" it prompts me to choose the backup image files and then choose a file to create a .vhd file. I've tried this several times, picking either just the "Image_C" and "Image_SYSVOL" vhdz files, or picking those 2 plus "Image_ESP". In all cases this fails with various errors, but here is an example: 2025-03-01 14:21:58: Writing GPT header... 2025-03-01 14:21:58: ERROR: Writing GPT header failed. Code 0 2025-03-01 14:21:58: Writing GPT table... 2025-03-01 14:21:58: ERROR: Writing GPT table failed. Code 0 2025-03-01 14:21:58: Writing GPT backup header... 2025-03-01 14:21:58: ERROR: Writing GPT backup header failed. Code 0 2025-03-01 14:21:58: Writing GPT backup table... 2025-03-01 14:21:58: ERROR: Writing backup GPT table failed. Code 0 2025-03-01 14:21:58: ERROR: Writing W:\URBACKUP\5600x-Dsktp\250120-0251_Image_C\Image_C_250120-0251.vhdz into output VHD(x)...

Lastly, I tried using this the "uncompress_image.bat" tool. After hours it uncompressed a incremental image and it's base image, so then I tried temporarily renaming the new, uncompressed vhdz file to a .vhd extension and just mounting it directly (I read something somewhere about trying this). If I mount it with ImDisk it shows up but clicking on the drive in File Explorer just prompts me to format the drive (which I didn't), and trying to mount it view Disk Management->Add VHD gives an error about it being corrupted (which I don't think is actually true). Sorry for the longwinded explanation (hoping it may help someone googling in the future). I really want to be able to verify that my image backups are actually working without going through the process of restoring an image using the bootable USB Urbackup tool. FWIW, I did try booting into that, and it shows all my disk image backups as expected, but I have no way of knowing if they're valid because I've never actually tried starting a restore. I also would like to be able to mount the drive images so it's possible to restore individual files without going through a full image restore. TL;DR, is there anyway to mount NTFS image files stored on an Unraid share directly in Windows? Step-by-step instructions would be much appreciated.

I'm a big novice when it comes to dockers and unraid, but I'm trying to figure out if there is a way to set up an automated way to periodically run a shell command that I need to be able to give deluge access to private tracker I'm a member of (because of my dynamic ip). If I open a console by clicking on the Deluge-VPN in the docker tab of the Uraid UI, and type this curl command [edited for anonymity]: curl -c ~/foo.cookies -b ~/foo.cookies https://a.site.net/json/dynamicSeedbox.php I've already created the foo.cookies script with a prior command, I just want to figure out a way to execute this command automatically every few hours. If that's possible could someone give me specific steps on how to accomplish this? Thanks!

I'm looking to upgrade my Unraid server hardware to a newer Intel based CPU to be able to take advantage of quicksync and hardware acceleration in Plex (among other reasons). I've seen conflicting information about whether or not Unraid and/or Plex fully supports the newest Intel iGPUs (the 730 or 750) found in 11th and 12th series chips (I was considering a i5-11400 or i3-12100). A possible alternative would be to go with a i5-10400 with the 630 iGPU, but I'd prefer to go with newer hardware if possible especially since the prices are barely any different. Before I purchase anything, can anyone refer me to an up-to-date guide on how to get these newer iGPUs working correctly (if possible), particularly in Plex w/ hardware acceleration & HDR tone mapping. If anyone has any first hand experience about whether this does or doesn't work properly, I'd love to hear it. For reference I'm running Unraid 6.9.2 but would consider upgrading to 6.10 rc2 if would potentially improve the situation somehow. Thanks in advance
