I know this is old, but it's not been answered and I came across it anyway, so anyone else (or even maybe still OP) looking for answers, this isn't how that bit works in that the mover will move the files, not back them up; for that, you'll need a different mechanism. Unraid Mover The Unraid Mover is a scheduled process that moves files from the cache drive(s) to the main array to free up cache space, preventing transfers from failing when the cache fills up . It runs on a user-defined schedule (or can be triggered manually), transferring files based on share settings, and maintains the folder structure but does not organize content. To ensure all data moves correctly, especially for Docker and VM shares, services should be disabled during the process. To add to this, it looks to me, from your final screenshot, that you're asking Unraid to store the files in the cache, and then later asking the mover to move the files from the array, to the cache. I would expect this not to work since the files will already be on the cache. I hope this is helpful in some way, to somebody, at some point in time! 👍🏻
