February 20, 201214 yr Where do you primary save all your documents work and photos? Unraid or your local PC? If you save all your documents/photos on Unraid and then acccess to Unraid to view it - isn't that slow and annoying? I usually keep all my documents and family/friends photos on my PC on the secondary drive (Windows 7). I want to backup every week to the Unraid server automatically, what is the best solution to do this? At the moment I use Unraid for movies storage only.
February 21, 201214 yr I believe it makes sense to keep things like photo's / documents that don't exist anywhere else on your local PC AND Unraid (and obviously a copy off-site if they are really import to you). Like you, I keep movies just on Unraid, as in a worst case scenario I could re-rip them. Working with the local version is obviously faster too. Rather than a weekly backup, take a look at rsync to continually keep a backup of your important files. I'm not sure what the best version is for Windows 7 - hopefully someone will come along an post a recommendation....
February 21, 201214 yr I want to backup every week to the Unraid server automatically, what is the best solution to do this? Quick and easy on windows 7 would be to use Syncback. For simple file back up the free version will even do scheduling.
February 21, 201214 yr I keep them on my main PC on SSD. But have Superflexible Sync monitor for changes and sync them in the background to unraid (also keeps 5 versions). Nightly the same program syncs to an offsite location and encrypts the data. Sent from my SGH-I727R using Tapatalk
February 21, 201214 yr I only have one copy of movies, TV shows, & music and this is on my unraid server. Important documents, photos, home videos are stored on my main desktop PC (Win 7 home premium) and I use rsync to automatically backup these files to unraid. In order to do this I had to install deltacopy on the windows machine which is basically rsync ported to windows. Now that I have everything setup it works just as I wanted. I plan on setting up offsite backup (e.g. crashplan) when I convert to 5.0 when it's released. Search the forums for deltacopy and you'll find a few useful threads on how to set it up.
February 21, 201214 yr Where do you primary save all your documents work and photos? Unraid or your local PC? photos are all mirrored on two separate unRAID servers. very few on local PCs. Really important photos are also stored off-site.
February 21, 201214 yr Honestly I have a folder on my Windows7 Machine desktop labeled such as "Junk" I save everything in it and now and then I basically copy it over to my unRAID machine. Once all the contents are set to be moved I place docs in a docs folder, photos in a photo's folder and so on. Movies, Tv Shows, MP3's and recently taken photos nearly get moved instantly when I'm done toying with them. Important Photos and other things I store on the net
