  1. Hi,

    I'm trying to setup luckybackup to backup my server.

    Media files will backed up once and then backup will be updated 2 or 3 times a year so don't need a planification for these.

    Some of my media directories are larger than the backup disks. for example i try to split the backup of tv folder in 2 tasks. Each task backup to a different disk. For that i use pattern to backup a set of directories which name start with. 

    When i use a single letter it works but not if i use a range like [P-Z].

    Can i use it or do i have to split a task into several set of directories each one with the name starting with a single letter?

     

  2. I was having the same kind of troubles. 

    I decided to go the nextcloud aio route and i don't regret it. It's not very easy to setup as it's quite different from a classical unraid docker install but once you have set it up it's really nice. Updates and backups are automated.

    Preclear is not a standard part of Unraid which is why I suspect that it is never checked for.   If you know that you are going to use a disk for parity then there is no real reason for pre-clearing it as the parity sync process writes to every sector on the drive anyway.

    It makes sense. I only ran 1 pass preclear for testing. It's a brand new disk. And i had 3 other disks in preclearing process. All drivres are exos (3x16TB 1x8TB). These are getting really hot when running preclear mounted in the same das case.

    if mover is running then it must be writing or reading array drives so resuming the parity sync will slow down mover.  If the pause is being done by the Parity Check Tuning plugin then if you do not want the pause to happen uncheck that option in the plugins settings.

     

    I had the impression mover was stalled. There were no reading or writing on the array. As soon as i resumed there has been writing only on the parity disk being rebuit.

  4. so it could spare time, if the disk has been precleared, to end parity sync.

    Right now parity sync has been paused because of mover action and i had to manually resume. And yet parity disk being rebuilt is the only one disk being accessed by the array. 

  5. I am expanding my array by changing for bigger drives.

    Before that i precleared the drives to test them.

    I have 2 6TB parity drives replaced with 16TB drives.

    I was thinking that it would be nice if parity rebuild could end when the biggest of the disks has been read if the disk being rebuild has been precleared. I don't know if i'm clear.

    In my case, older disks are slow, rebuilding has reached 6TB and there is 10TB more to go but nothing is read from other disks as they are smaller. I assume the rest of the parity sync is like zeroing the disk which has already been done by preclear.

  6. I read the mentionned topic. Many useful stuff here.

    For now i'm upgrading my array. 4 preclear done, rebuild of first parity disk is running, waiting to upgrade 2nd parity and 2 array disks.

    As i have more archive than backups i wonder if i wouldn't go for a lto streamer and keep 1 or 2 spinners for backups.

  7. Today I backup my data with several apps:

    - ca backup for flash, appdata

    - borg for nextcloud aio 

    - luckybackup for several user shares

    -vmbackup for vm

     

    all these backup are written to user share (on the unraid array) then with luckybackup they are transfered to an unassagined   usb drive

    The size of the backups fits on the drive.

     

    Now i plan to upgrade array and i will use actual parity drives as archive drives. 

    The goal is to keep a copy of media files on the archive drives. I plan to update these drives from time to time (2 or 3 times a year, no need to do it more often). Today media files are not backed up.

    The problem is media files size is 3 times the archive drives size. 

    How can i do to backup media files to archive drives and update them with new content 3 or 4 months later ?

  8. As indicated in the name Unraid is not raid.

    What unraid doesn't like is sata port multiplier. Unraid has to be presented the disk itself by the hba.

    In the inwin case you have a integrated broadcom sas expander on the backplane which is perfect for Unraid. However your motherboard has to have an hba.

    Depending on the "disks" you want, you need a sas hba  and a nvme hba. 

    According to the manual you can use 24  2,5/3,5" sas/sata disks or 16 2,5/3,5" sas/sata disks and 8 nvme disks. So the hba(s) you need depend on your choice.

    But no problem with the expander.

    I saw this card in other forum but the reseller do not mention if you bifurcation enabled in the bios. In my case, that is my main problem because the bios in hpe proliant dl360p gen8 doesn't support pcie bifurcation. So i'm stuck with a over priced pcie riser card to add NVME ssd  :(

     

    I can confirm you don't need bifurcation to use this card.

    As mentionned in my post there is "PLX Technology, Inc. PEX 8748" which is a pci-e switch

     

    ediit: to be clear my Z620 doesn't support bifurcation either

  10. bought  this one works flawlessly in HP Z620.

     

    pros: works with 22110 ssd

             works in x16 x8 and x4 (not verified) slots

    cons: small fan on the card a bit noisy.

  11. Hello,

     

    i set up the container. All is working except for folder structure.

    Container Variable: folder_structure is set to "album".

    From what i understood it should had save pics with the same folder structure than icloud.

    The result is i have all my pics and vidéos in a folder called "album".

     

    In icloud i have around 20k files for 62GB. 

    5% of these files are unclassified. The rest is in albums named accordingly to the date and event name.

    Theses albums are in folders (one folder per year).

    Anybody could point me in the right direction ?
