Why? The purpose of UPS isn't to allow you to run on battery for extended periods. It is to allow your server time to shut down cleanly if a power outage continues for longer than a brief period.

The Flash Backup function of the My Servers plugin appears to keep the backups in public S3 buckets on AWS.

 

Is there any security concerns doing it this way?

 

How is this not enormously expensive for storage and egress? 

 

If someone wrote 100GB of extraneous data to their flash drive, would all that extra data get uploaded to S3 as well, or will the Flash Backup function abort after a certain file size is reached?

Why, because I have 2 smt1500 ups units (both modified with deep cycle 4+hr runtime) feeding apc A/B uninterruptible switch. I want the ability to see status and have custom parameters for each ups native in Unraid. My use case is easy to justify as my ups units run power to the rest of my Lan so when power goes out I can adjust things accordingly for longest runtimes. currently unraid only allows seeing and adjusting perimeters on one ups.

 I've been getting by using my 2nd unRAID server that functions as my firewall and automation server but want it all managed by my big boy p620 TRX system 

Hola! Thanks for the great software.

 

My question is, is there any timeline on multiple array pools for the OS and for Stefano: 

 

What are some of your favorite containers and things to do with your Unraid server(s)?

When getting a dedicated gfx card for windows VM what model of a card (like 1050-2090 etc) is enough to get ok performance? 

And any motherboard recommendations for servers? im running out of slots with current setup as i have LSI controllers and card allready for plex transcoding.

Upgrading that really old Unraid server ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC. M5A97 R2.0, AMD FX-8370, 32GB ECC to what in 2023?  Maybe Intel with QuickSync?  Everytime I go to price it out I just say no from price.   Or do I need to pick older components?
