@chansearrington If you find them to be useful for backing up Google or MS hosted files directly from Google or MS, let me know

The workaround is very manual. A Firefox Docker on Unraid. Every time daughter visits, she uses the Firefox to order Takeout on Google, set it to download the files and close her browser, while the docker'ed Firefox continue the download of takeout files. Rather manual, but very simple and takes only but a few minutes. Effort/Risk ratio is good.

+1 for WIFI. Yes, Ethernet is better and faster, like if you imagine a 28 lane german highway instead of an escalator going the wrong way in a hailstorm with you wearing speedo's and trying to read a newspaper. Still I would like that escalator, and I look good in speedos!!

Background is that we recently moved a daughter from a regular windows laptop to a Chromebook/Google Drive/Photos setup. She will access those data from her chrome book, phone, tablet and a browser at work. Lots of pros and cons. Now we would like to setup an automated backup of her data placed at Google Drive/Photos. It is not a lot, just about 80G. Manual exports, or trusting that Google never fails, is not in scope Anyone with a good idea for this?

To me the basics are: -Monitoring/Verifying data integrity -Monitoring hardware health -Having a step by step foolproof hardware failure plan -Optimize power saving -Optimize read/write speeds -Scanning for problems -Scanning for virus/malware in data -Monitoring logs/Early warning when unexpected things happen. I'm a huge podcast fan, so I think this could be worth a try.

Is it possible to choose to show more than 25 posts per page?

That would be so awesome :D... I'm a very willing betatester

Is it possible to have some progress indicator on the log, maybe a file counter that updated every hour or similar? I'm about to scan 2.1 mill files, which I assume will take quite a long time, so some sort of indicator would be helpful.

Awesome.. and we are back up

Great Plugin, love it, awesome work. When I run an extended scan, it scans my /URbackup/ for a rather long time. Last time I gave up, it had been running for 5 days. The /URbackup contain approximately 2 million files, so yes it is a lot of files. Should I just wait it out, or should I start troubleshooting? I tried browsing the System Log to see any messages of problems or progress, but found none. Am I looking in the wrong place?

Yeah... we should have helped China in december.

No worries , and thanks for checking.

@trurl np Set "suspend when non-boinc cpu usage is above 30%" Start a few Plex streams to make sure that the load close to max. Observe if Boinc suspends its calculations. In my case it do not. Hence the question if it works for you?

@trurl @Constructor Does "Suspend when non-BOINC CPU usage is above 25 %" work for you? I want Boinc to suspend, when the server starts its dayjob of Plex streaming, but I cant get it to work.

I ended up with just one Minio docker and then just create multiple containers inside. The clients are using Duplicati installed as a service, backing up into each their Minio containers. Duplicati encrypts the backups, and they all use different keys. After backup duplicati sends a http string to https://www.duplicati-monitoring.com, which then again sends me daily emails with status. I have run a few restore tests, and it all seems to work fine. All the notes about installation, keys, restore process, etc, is kept at Lastpass. So when things turn bad, i don't need to rethink what to do, just logon to Lastpass and follow my own instructions :) For me this is exactly what I need, and I consider the problem solved... for now at least.

Yes, I looked into Nextcloud, but with the features comes complexity, and what I like about Minio, is that it does exactly what I want.. nothing more, nothing less. I don't want the sync or all the other awesome things that Nextcloud can do... as with the features, comes a greater need for uptime. But thanks for the input

Just an update, I'm currently testing a combination of: -Minio, by Topdockercat, as the backend S3 storage, and I will make one Minio instance per "backer'upper person/household" -Duplicati as the client, doing source encryption -www.duplicati-monitoring.com, for giving me and the backer'uppers the status reports.

Yeah. thanks and I did read up on it. But as with Nextcloud, I can't figure out, how I can keep track of the "succesfullness" of the backups. Maybe what I am looking for is just not very relevant for Unraiders. But I feel it is just around the corner, like there is something I have not realized, one last search I need to do. And then it will be there.. an ability to send invites, people can download clients, backups will happen, both clients and server can keep track of the success, and the storage use, and data will be source encrypted.... I just need to find it.

Thanks, and I checked a few as don't mind a reasonable price tag, if it solves my task in a nice and simple manner. I just want to avoid disasters. Loosing a few hours or even days of work is fine, comparing to loosing years of photos and 6 months of thesis work.

Thanks for the thoughts, and Nextcloud seems as a forward moving project. But Nextcloud is a boat, and I'm looking for lifejackets

Hi, does any have good ideas of what software setup will be the best for me to provide family and friends with a backup destination. The backups will be of data only, biggest risk is theft or loss of laptops, so no need for baremetal functionality. Focus is more on backup, less on syncfunctionality -Connecting and backing up through the internet and not only on LAN. -An overview of the backup status of the workstations, so I can review if they are successfully backed up recently. (keeping an eye on the "kids") -Restoring from either loss of laptops, harddrive failure, ransomware or theft should be easy. -Solution should work without a need to establish VPNs when backing up. -A client side encryption, so I can't read their data. Making space available, seem to be relative simple, but I have found nothing that gives me both source encryption and backupstatus overview. Any good ideas??.

Hi All Was happy with Crashplan for a long time, but switched to Idrive for backing up the increasing number of mobile devices in the family. Idrive makes some linux stuff... Have anyone got Idrive working on Unraid, which could give me some hints or a how-to, I would be grateful !! /René

Systems with 99,999% uptime regarding dataloss with 0 maintenance have existed a long time. Books and cave paintings. Songs and anekdotes have shown to have some dataloss, but distribution were fast and cheap Anyway, as far as I understand Unraid do not protect against dataloss, it protects against fileloss. /René

The Stranger's Long Neck: How to Deliver What Your Customers Really Want Online If you are building anything online, websites, intranets, anything people, action and data oriented, this book is a must read. For those of you that have intranets and wikis that have become relics and more of chronicles than a contemporary effective tool.. give it a read. yes, it is from 2010, and it is less relevant for webshops today, but have become even more relevant for the hard question of when data becomes noise. /Rene

To all those that defend the non delivery, the constant broken half-promises and reward-me teasers, look up the concept of a Stockholm syndrome. /Rene
