January 30, 20242 yr Hi All, Appreciate this has been asked in various guises and seen recommendations such as Robocopy but I particular approach so here goes. I have a relatively simple UNRAID server (3 array drives + Parity + Cache) with lots of big files. Im looking to run a simple daemon service that monitors the disks or folders and collates a list or DB of all files added and removed from a particular date (or just from when I started the daemon). You can then keep that log file or DB and effectively run it against another file location (such as an external backup drive which will then add the delta files to the external drive or remove deleted). The difference being, its only copying whats instructed in the database/log as opposed to a full drive/array indexing sweep. Also means I can re-run that particular (copy/log/delta) at any time in the future or replicate many times (even if I have since added/deleted more stuff on the server). Just something logging (Pseudo) ... /* Daemon started log - date - time */ /array/disk/folder/file - add /array/disk/folder/file - delete /* Daemon end log - date - time */ and then you can just select the above log file, pick your destination and it will run the above as a copy or delete operation (just for this delta). Does such a 'thing' exist? (either docker or plugin). Many thanks. J. Edited January 30, 20242 yr by mcrustk2
