Posted by KluthR,

Please note: Starting with Unraid 6.12, the support for THIS plugin (ca.backup2 aka Appdata Backup/Restore v2.0 and v2.5) will end! Starting with Unraid 6.12, all users should upgrade to "Appdata Backup" (its the only app with the known icon inside CA Apps in Unraid 6.12). Leave the "old" plugin installed and install the new one next to it: The new plugin will detect the old one and offers a basic configuration migration. If done, uninstall the old plugin.

Do you perhaps have docker.img in appdata share instead of system share as is the usual setting?

 

Attach diagnostics to your NEXT post in this thread.

You were exactly right.! :) Thank you very much.

Docker.img was in the same folder than then dockers themselves. Moving away the image did the trick.

I moved it ant it worked flawlessly.

 

Docker vDisk location:
/mnt/disk1/system/docker/docker.img
Default appdata storage location:
/mnt/user/appdata/

There is. But Iam currently busy with a refactoring. I dont touch the „old“ code except for urgent changes. Please wait a bit until Iam ready. What do you want to change?

I can wait. Mostly wanted to work on parallelization/docker restart mechanics, like what's been discussed in the thread.

I'm having issue where a few containers won't restart after the backup has finished. Can anyone assist please?

Been using this plugin for years, and more than once it's saved my ass. Thank you for taking this on and keeping such a great piece of work alive and progressing.

 

One question / suggestion - I have "create separate archives" set to Yes - but the plugin still stops all dockers at the start, then starts them at the end. Could it be possible to shut down a docker only when that docker appdata will be backed up instead? In other words, I don't think Plex needs to be closed if krusader is being backed up.. ?

 

Thank you!

Some dockers are dependent on others for many configurations

Hi there! I have recently set up a second Unraid machine and would like to move some of my containers to the new machine. I found a thread on reddit that suggested that the best way to do this would be to use this plugin to create a backup, copy the back up over to the new server and then restore it.

 

The back up from the old server and restore on the new server worked flawlessly! But I don't see the containers in the Docker UI or under "previously apps" tab in community applications. I checked the appdata share via ssh and all of the folders do seem to be there.

 

Am I missing something? Did I misunderstand how this plugin or how the restore function works?

 

Thank you in advance!

The docker templates that allow you to reinstall previous apps, and to work with installed apps in the webUI, are on the flash drive in config/plugins/dockerMan/templates-user

I am getting an error when it backs up syslog which causes the whole job to fail.

Syslog will update though during the backup process won't it?

If it helps, I have unpaid acting as a syslog server posting its own syslog to itself, that is so the syslog data is retained post reboot. Perhaps the logic is only expecting a single syslog file?
