I dont know if this was posted or not, I did do some searching for the problem i was having with the plugin not excluding folders that i checked and clicked "add to list" 

 

So for me i was trying to exclude the 3 folders for plex Cache, Media, and Metadata since they can eat up so much space and are not needed to backup.

What i found was when using the folder browser it would add this as the full path to the folder.
/mnt/cache/appdata/Plex-Media-Server/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server/Metadata/

 

So i would run a manual backup and it did not exclude said folder, after trying many different things and trying to exclude the folders with the "Global exclusion list" I was never able to get it exclude the folders i wanted it.

 

A very long story short is i changed /mnt/cache/ to /mnt/user/ in the excluded paths and low and behold it started to exclude said folders. I dont know or understand why when using the folder browser to select the folder and hitting the add the list button it adds the path wrong?

So if anyone is trying to exclude these folders from their plex backups i would try adding the folder paths like this, replacing the name of your plex folder to match your system.

/mnt/user/appdata/Plex-Media-Server/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server/Cache/
/mnt/user/appdata/Plex-Media-Server/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server/Media/
/mnt/user/appdata/Plex-Media-Server/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server/Metadata/

 

There are what worked for me in the end.

Exclusion paths must match the paths used in container bind mappings. For tar /mnt/cache and /mnt/user are different folders, so not being excluded.

Hey all! I have the plugin configured to run backups at a specific time, but I'd like to avoid backing up when I'm using a specific virtual machine inside unraid. 

I've created a script that exits with code 1 if that VM is running, and 0 if it is not, then I chmoded it, and added it as a custom pre-run script. When the plugin runs, it warns that the script exited with code 1 when the vm is running, but the backup does not stop. I assumed from the config that the backups would only continue if the scripts exit with code 0, since the header mentions something like this: "Custom scripts | Those must return exit code 0 for success detection". I also tested with pre-backup, but the same thing happens.

 

Am I doing something wrong? Is it possible to achieve what I'm trying?

 

Just for completion sake, here's the script

```sh

#!/bin/bash
VM_NAME="Windows 11"

if virsh list --name --state-running | grep -q "^${VM_NAME}$"; then
    echo "VM '${VM_NAME}' is running. Backup aborted."
    exit 1
fi

echo "VM '${VM_NAME}' is not running. Proceeding with backup."
exit 0
```

 

and here's the log from the pre-backup run with some things redacted:

 

```

05.03.2025 08:38:03][ℹ️][Main] Executing script '/[...]/pre-backup.sh' 'pre-backup' '/[...]'...

```

Currently a non-zero exit code does not stop the backup but warns you that it did so. But that would be a nice feature. 0 - success, 1 - warn but continue, 2 - warn and cancel backup (or skip container).

It's again an interaction with exclusive shares. When you select a path in /mnt/user with the picker and tick the checkbox it fills in a /mnt/cache path. Don't know whether that's an unraid thing or a plugin thing, but as it is it'll be a recurrent issue.

Ahhh, bummer, I misinterpreted it then... It would be nice if it worked that way

 

So, currently, it is not possible to programmatically decide if the backup should start or not?

Currently not, no. But its noted on the wishlist

I see... Thanks, I'll be keeping an eye on the issue!

My FlashDriveBackup keeps failing and I'm at a loss as to why.  I also cant seem to find this temp folder the log is supposed to be in.

Hello,

 

I'm having a hard time with the pre-backup script. I created a small one that create an sql dump of my mariadb. If I run the script from cmd, no problem. But when I run from prebackup, the filename are weird.

 

Script:

now=$(date +"%Y-%m-%d_%H:%M:%S")
docker exec mariadb sh -c 'exec mariadb-dump --all-databases -uroot -p"password"' > /mnt/user/Backup/mariadb/mariadb_$now.sql

now=$(date +"%Y-%m-%d_%H:%M:%S")
docker exec mariadb-nextcloud sh -c 'exec mariadb-dump --all-databases -uroot -p"password"' > /mnt/user/Backup/mariadb/mariadb-nextcloud_$now.sql

 

The result:

 

I don't get where these filename come from. The content is good, but its not how I named them.

 

Thank you

 

I'm having issues with my backup, it usually fails quite often and from the log it seems Plex is the culprit:

Looks like it does get stopped. Any other containers that are set to be skipped that might access the same paths?

I don't have any containers setup to be skipped, so they should all be stopped before the backup starts.

It would be cool if there was the option to check Plex or Tautulli to see if there were any users currently streaming anything before running the appdata backup. 

 

For example:

- Scheduled backup time comes around, but there are >=1 users currently streaming, shift next backup window to now() + some interval and try again

- Scheduled backup time comes around, there are no users currently streaming, backup proceeds.

This seems like a niche use IMO. Instead of using the scheduler in Appdata Backup, you could just use a cron schedule for a bash script. A quick mock-up based on code I already had written:

No errors. Everything seemed to be successful, but invalid when I go to restore. 

Something about how the storage is setup maybe? 

Any thoughts on this? I still can't figure out why I get and invalid backup error when I try to restore. 

Do you point the file selector to the path, holding ALL backups? Dont select a specific one!

Having a little trouble with the plugin:

The logs keep telling me that a handful of container should be ignored since they have no volume to backup - but they ARE set to be skipped:

 

 

Perhaps another symptom of the same problem: I am trying to set another container to be skipped and even though I click the Save button, when the page refreshes, the container is back to Skip? No.

 

I've been using AppData Backup for a LONG time and I've never seen this happen. I am still running 6.12.15. Is this just a problem with the latest version?

How many containers do you have? Sounds like the issue that the firm does not save completely when many containers are in use. Please check the last 2-3 pages to get a workaround. Will pin the post later.

This script is finding a lot that it excludes, can this be added automatically to the exclusion list?

A added delay could be set if none are set before? So every container gets a 10sec delay as a default option?
