@Stan464 Should be fixed now in latest version. I have tested on 2 vms and working fine. Just make sure you convert raw disks to qcow2 format.

Hello @Stan464 Are these Windows or Linux VM's?, how many disks attached to the vms?, How many Nics?, Are they big or small vms? Are the disks raw or qcow format? Do you have the VM Guest agent running on them?

Great question - and you're not being stupid at all, the wording is a bit ambiguous! The tickbox means "back this up", not "exclude this". So: - Ticked = that path/data is included in the backup - Unticked = that path is left out - Greyed-out + "Auto-excluded" = Vault skips it automatically (media shares, remote shares, etc.) because those are usually huge shared data you don't want in an appdata backup, so I lock them off. For your example - to keep Config and drop UNR1/2/3 - UNR2 and UNR3 are already auto-excluded (they're /mnt/remotes shares), and you'd just untick UNR1. One thing I've spotted from your screenshot: your Jellyfin /config lives on an Unassigned Devices disk (/mnt/disks/...). Vault is currently auto-excluding the whole /mnt/disks/ family as "direct disk", which is wrong - appdata on an Unassigned Devices SSD should absolutely be backable. That's a bug on my side, not you. I'll get it fixed so that box is tickable. In the meantime, you can still protect that config by adding /mnt/disks/CTU-INTG-240GB-1/appdata/Jellyfin as a Folder backup - that path isn't auto-restricted, so it'll back up fine. Thanks a lot for the kind words and for flagging this!

Hello, I had a few issues with the notifications system but should be sorted out now in the latest version. BTW: If you use home assistant you can also use the vault integration to notify you of backup failures and do other automations. https://github.com/ruaan-deysel/ha-vault. Before using the HA Vault integration just make sure you set the plugin's bind address to your unraid servers IP address from drop-down list and get the API key from Vault --> Settings --> Security --> API Access. You will need that to setup the integration.

Thanks. You can also open an issue and attach the unraid and unraid management agent logs here https://github.com/ruaan-deysel/unraid-management-agent You can also disable fan monitoring in the HACS --> Unraid Management Agent integration. That will disable fan control and monitoring. And just checking. Do you have this plugin installed? I tested with this plugin enabled and disabled and unraid management agent detects it and if enabled only monitors the fans but if disabled it will control the fans too. At the moment my system is just set by BIOS to automatically control the fans so I dont bother with this plugin.

The plugin has a diagnostic section were you enable debug logging and allows you to download diagnostic file. You can send that to me as that will help to troubleshoot. You can also send me the Unraid diagnostic log. Attach the 2 zip files

@Stan464 Something like this?

Hello, Thanks for letting me know about this. I have added detection for 3rd party fan control plugins like the dynamics auto fan control and FanCTRL Plus plugin. When either of the plugins are installed and enabled the unraid management agent will just go into monitor mode and not interfere with the plugins and settings.

Thank you. Appreciate the kind words. Improvement suggestions are always welcome and feel free to open up bug or enhancement requests. I’ll look into this by the way and see what improvements I can make.

Hello, you now have to option to set a bind address. Any issues open a bug report in github.

Hey, sorry for late reply. Latest version has the option has read-only mode for ai agents if you use mcp e

Thanks. I'll implement some improvements

Thanks. I'll fix the UI bug. How big is your VM backups? How many VM's do you backup? I tested with a 3GB VM backup to backblaze s2 using S3 adapter and it works fine

I'll look into it

I'm working on a fix for persisting configuration during reboots

I could probably word this better, but to change database location, under Database Location, change the snapshot path to the new location if you dont use cache pool. Vault DB will save a snapshot in new location. You can delete the backup files manually from the backup location. I have a list of improvements to make so will add feature in to delete backups files from the UI but keep the jobs intact.

Hello, you delete the backup job and it will ask you "Keep backup files" or "Delete backup files" I have a list of improvements I need to make and "Clear logs" feature is on the list.

Hi, yes it supports folder and file backups on a schedule and you can backup only the contents under /mnt/user/appdata or whichever folder and file you want to backup. It only wakes up the disk where the backup location is to store the compressed backup file. I'm going to add functionality in for container backups so that users can specify containers paths eg. /config/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server/Cache which should be excluded. For more info you can look at the wiki https://deepwiki.com/ruaan-deysel/vault

If you are on github please open issue for enhancement or bugs. I'll make a plan to investigate and add extra features

If you are on GitHub it will be great if you can log it as an issue for me to investigate

I'll look into it. Thanks for the feedback> You change the custom snapshot path location to location of your choice. Vault runs in memory by default to not put strain on the usb and keeps backup copy of database on cache or another location so in the event of power failure or reboot it restores from snapshot location automatically.

@erdius Fix implemented and working with tailscale enabled containers

Thanks for letting me know. I'll have a look and work on a fix.
