Theldron Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 Hi all, I am setting up another Unraid server and I want to use it as a backup server. What is the best way to sync to the backup server any new data from the main server on a schedule? Thanks Quote Link to comment

What is the best way to sync to the backup server any new data from the main server on a schedule? I use the method outlined in this forum thread. It may seem a little daunting at first, but once you get it going it is set it and forget it. My script does the following via a cron schedule from User Scripts: Powers on the backup server via IPMI (you can use S3 wake/sleep if you wish and your MB supports it) Sets up email Backs up share to share (since I don't have exactly the same number and size of data disks in both servers) Captures everything in a log Emails me the summary log Powers (or S3 sleep) down the backup server via IPMI until the next backup is run.
