Hi Tim, I‘ve crammed my answers into the quote above. I had a reason for not adding all the info initially, because I’m curious if there is a simple solution for backing up any kind of larger array/pool without immediately having to create a full backup site with another array/pool - no matter if on ZFS or indeed the same OS A simple way right now would obviously be to get a 16TB+ drive and simply copy everything onto it, but then if I add a drive I’d have to get a 20TB drive, then a 24TB drive - each time chucking the old one, because I really don’t need spinners anymore in my use case… I could off course also run the SSDs as a pool AND the HDDs as the array and rsync the data over periodically, but I’d quickly run out of physical space in my current PC case with my current config. Or I just keep it as is, the SSDs in the array, with simple access to the disk shares for backups and not worrying about TRIM so much, because most of the data is persistent and I value independent disk access and backup more than the redundancy a Parity drive would give me… Dtill hoping for more insight on other options Cheers Stefan P.S.: I used to have a backup unraid server based on a thin client with all my backup drives attached, but it would periodically drop the USB drives and was in general not as solid a solution as simply attaching the drives 1 by 1, also decreasing the risk of damaging all the drives/data at once. I still have the license, but don’t have the spares right now to build a full box cheaply. I also store my backup drives in a „waterproof“ case in the basement, therefore following the 3-2-1 principle roughly. A full second server would be a big hassle (the basement is 2 stories from my apartment, so no way for me to hook it up to Ethernet)

Hey guys, so… I did a thing. TL;DR How do you backup a single large pool/disk to multiple smaller disks? Is there a GUI solution that keeps track of which part of the pool is backed up to which drive, meaning I can visually keep an overview of my backed up data? In the past I had 1:1 backups, meaning the target drive was always the same size as the source, I didn’t have to split shares or remember/check which part of a share went where. Shares could grow over time and it would still work. When I attached the backup drive I had instant access to all the files on it without attaching a whole backup array/raid/pool. I‘m a bit stumped and could have researched this issue in advance - or stuck to HDDs - but I simply didn’t anticipate this. I‘m looking forward to your ideas! Cheers Stefan

I'm giving this a try. Installed in 2 minutes and seems to work just fine so far. Thanks for pointing me towards it! I'll update this thread if I run into any issues or need to change something, so if you don't read anything after this and are in the same situation, feel free to give it a shot! Cheers and merry Christmas Stefan

What I've found when googling for "unraid remote access without port forwarding" is Cloudflare tunnels for example, but I think this is more appropriate for a specific service on the server rather than the web interface itself. I need remote access for: - running updates And that's it. So a lightweight linux desktop with a web browser is all I need, if Anydesk is the way to go. But no matter which distro/desktop I try, I keep running into issues with the window managers for a headless machine... none of the tutorials I've found online work... I was hoping though that I'd simply overlooked a docker container with this specific purpose in mind... The reason a reverse proxy (and the MyServers plugin) don't work AFAIK, is that they are simply DNS forwarders and tell your browser to connect to the public IP, which only works if I'm able to open the port(s). AD/TV work because they actually route all traffic through their own servers, which is presumably why there are no plug-and-play freeware options. I've looked at connecting the remote server via Wireguard to the main server, but all the guides require me to open ports on both sides. Also, I would need the remote dockers to bypass Wireguard because I don't want their traffic having a single point of failure (main server).

I have. However, just like with a normal reverse proxy, I would still need to open a port for this to work, which the router simply doesn't allow.

Hey guys, I have a small unraid server running at my parents house that takes care of their backups and acts as another node for my Resilio network. They switched internet providers a couple of months ago and are now stuck with a router that has port forwarding, but that I simply cannot get to actually work for more than a few days - IPv6 and all. I'm not going to spend money on a decent router, as they themselves will have 0 benefits and it only affects my remotely managing unraid. For now I'm running a Windows VM with Anydesk on it, but that stopped working a while ago after a Windows update that didn't let AD restart. This solution normally works, but the ressources for one are quite significant for my little server, it's also just overkill AF. I obviously don't want to directly expose the interface to the internet even behind a reverse proxy, which is impossible anyway due to no port forwarding, the same goes for Wireguard etc. I've never gotten a Linux VM to work reliably with AD and I've tried a bunch. Am I stuck with AnyDesk / Teamviewer etc? What would be my most stable and low ressource solution? Are there premade/maintained dockers for this purpose that I haven't found yet? Merry Christmas Stefan

Please accept my humble +1

I'm using one of the scripts in this thread, gives me notifications, which are handled by the default unraid notifications, however you have them set up.

I had changed that, but for some reason it still created the appdata/clamav folder with the wrong permissions. (rwx r-x r-x, which incidentally is the same as for my resilio and avidemux dockers, without any issues). I manually created the appdata/clamav folder via Windows Explorer and now it works just fine. Thanks for the hint though!

I'm getting the same error and am confused about what I need to do...

Sorry mate, my log is clean now - I'm unsure as to which side needed fixing... Cheers Stefan

I'm also getting a lot of errors, but it does update every now and then...

It's working again...

I just updated today and I'm still unable to just open the webui from the unraid gui in Firefox - opens just fine in Edge Chromium. I've cleared the browser cache, what else should I try?

Thanks for the updated config files, worked perfectly for me. Where am I supposed to add the default phone region though? I've created a "phone.config.php" file in "/config" next to the other files, but I still get the error. The content is: <?php $CONFIG = array ( 'default_phone_region' => 'DE', ); What am I doing wrong? Cheers Stefan
