TiNas Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 I have created a small docker container that will backup data to S3. I want to only backup some of my shares. But I am not 100% sure which folder I should backup. Noticed that there are multiple 'copies' of shares. Under '/mnt' I noticed there are multiple folders with the same files/folders (I think its a symlink) /mnt/cache /mnt/disk1 /mnt/user /mnt/user0 In which directory is the original data located? What directory can I use best to do my backups offsite? 1 Quote Link to comment

Those are all basically different views of the same data! /mnt/cache and /mnt/disk1 refer to the physical drives and thus show files that are on that specific drive. /mnt/user is the User Share view that can span multiple drives including all array disks and the cache. /mnt/user0 is a User Shate view that spans all array drives but omits any files that are on the cache. 1 Quote Link to comment
