Should I be doing a parity restore? I thought the Cache drive was only for new files, why is every docker image gone? Some of my dockers are in my user appdata folder but most of them are missing.

How can I restore my dockers, can I use parity to restore somehow? I've only used it when an array drive went offline.

As a secondary question, does anyone else have issues with appdata backup running for a month or two and then disabling itself without notification? Its happened a few times now, I set it up it runs a handful of times on schedule and then never again which I only realize when something catastrophic happens to my apps.

Typically, docker related shares are kept on cache for better performance, and so array disks can spin down since these files are always open. And parity can't help with cache since cache is outside the parity array. (Sort of the whole point of cache since its performance isn't affected by parity updates.)

 

You can reinstall your dockers from Previous Apps, but without their appdata they will be starting over. If you do have some appdata backup you can use that might be better than starting over but of course would only be as up-to-date as the backup.

If cache was readonly, mover can't work since it has to remove the moved files from cache. But you probably could have simply copied cache before formatting, and that is often suggested on many threads where formatting cache is mentioned.
