Thanks for Borg cache clarification. The 3-4GB file are media file that stay unchanged. The copy of this file are simple but do not cover ransomware attacks

I’ve tried a few GBs of backups. There is nothing to recover. I need to back up 20 TB of data (15TB of large file: 3GB each) To avoid excessive writes to the SSD, is it sufficient to move the path for the Borg cache directory in settings to HD? Or for large files it is better to use a copy method like rsync.

I find the error. During wizard (and in setting) when smb profie was created it was not keep mounted so when the new repository is created on local NAS and not on SMB share. When backup start smb share is mounted and repository configuration is not accessible. I hope I’ve made myself clear

unraid 7.3.4 plugin v2026.11.08.1742 - Did you use the initial setup wizard for both attempts, or add the second storage/repository later? Used initial setup. After fail added another in settings - Did you manually mount or test the SMB share before creating the repository? mount from profile page (check status:ok) i'm able to create folder or file in /mnt/borg-backup-ui/smb/DXP4800Plus - Which mount/unmount options did you select, and was there a reboot or plugin restart before the first backup? Mount options leave to default: SMB v 2/3 reccomended - Security empty - Mount automatically and Keep mounted not selected. System reboot dosent resolve - Were the repository files shown in your screenshot also visible directly in the NAS’s own file manager? No, these file are only on unraid

Does Backup_ISO contain an existing Borg repository, or is it simply a regular directory containing files? Contain Borg repository created by plugin Did you create a new repository through the Borg Backup UI configuration wizard, or did you select an existing one? Created during initial wizard If this is an existing Borg repository, can you confirm that it contains a config file and a data directory? Yes contains confog and data Could you share a screenshot of your repository configuration in Borg Backup UI? screenshots attached I’ve tried on two SMB servers (Ugreen and Synology) and created the repositories, but I keep getting the same error.

I just installed the plugin and went through the configuration wizard. Upon first execution, I get this error.

How can I set up notifications for successful backups? I only receive notifications for failed backups. In the advanced settings for each job, in the notifications section, I only see pre and post backup scripts.
