I just installed Cloudberry and am backing-up a folder to Wasabi. Setup went smoothly and I was surprised how (relatively) fast the backup went through. I have 2 questions: The folder I am backing-up is created by Syncthing. I use Staggered File Versioning on that. CloudBerry also has file versioning. In effect, I am backing up a versioned folder inside another versioning system. Is that going to cause problems on down the road if I need to restore? In the CloudBerry settings it defaults to "Backup symlinks only". I'm obviously new at this, but how is that different than backing-up an actual file? I just want to make sure I have this setup correctly in the event I ever need to rely on it. Thank you in advance.

Is it necessary to trim HHD’s in the array? I have two 4TB Western Digital Red Plus’s, one as parity. I know you don’t have to trim the SSD’s on BTRFS with v6.9, but what about the spinning disks in the array?

I am trying to build out an old Dell Precision T3600 on a budget. It currently has an NVIDIA Quadro 4000 that I understand is not supported by the available drivers. I cannot get the card recognized by the plugin and it will not even boot into into GUI mode. I am not planning on doing any hardware transcoding on a media server but would like something budget friendly, preferably power efficient, that is easily supported. Thank you in advance for any suggestions.

Maybe a stupid question, but does this hold if your drive does not support TRIM? I have a couple SSD's mounted to an HBA and I get a "not supported" message when I run the fstrim -v command.

Thank you very much. On a related note, is it true you shouldn't run your cache SSD's off of the main HBA along with your pool storage HHD's?

Is it advisable to mix storage types in cache pools. For example, can/should you use an M2 NVME and an M2 SATA drive as redundant pairs in the same pool? I have a limited number of SATA ports on my motherboard (Dell T3600) and need to make use of everything I can. So I have a PCIe card with that holds an NVME drive and also powers an M2 SATA. The drives are the same size and I would like to use them together in the same cache pool. I also have an H310 flashed to IT mode that has capacity, but I've heard it's not ideal to put solid state devices on those controllers.
