September 7, 20223 yr Hi I followed space invader ones video about setting up backups and have got lost about setting up the share, I set it up but he doesn’t show what discs to use or if I have to use the cache pool, I’m sure I missed something, can anyone have a look and tell me more ? Thanks broxi-diagnostics-20220907-0926.zip
September 7, 20223 yr Community Expert it is basically up to you to decide how you want the share to be handled - there is no right or wrong as it depends on what you want. You would normally want backups on the array so you typically do not use a pool. In terms of which drives to use that is up to you. The share can be configured to use a specific drive or allowed to spread over all drives. The settings shown in the screenshot are not atypical.
September 8, 20223 yr Author "The settings shown in the screenshot are not atypical." is it possible to nudge me in the right way please, i have been searching since i read your reply or tell me to do a backup with something else ? Thanks

Thanks I wad trying to say that those settings are fine unless you have some special requirements..
September 8, 20223 yr My 2cents. I would set the free space to something other than 0. For instance I know my Typical backup size for my Dockers are around 36GB so I set my Minimum space to 50GB so I know that when a drive gets that low it'll automatically pick another drive. I also normally target a specific drive for all my backups. I use disk1 for all my Restore/Backup stuff, but that's just me and in hindsight might be a bad idea since if that drive dies no other backups are anywhere on my array. Lol, I might have to rethink that, but It'll do for now since I do have offline backups too. I know what I typed up above contradicts each other since I pick a drive, but I use the Minimum Space on all my shares to insure they don't get full.
