April 2, 20251 yr I have worked on this for a few days with no joy. I have done a lot of searching online but a solution has eluded me. Everyday for the past 6 days a new share appears. It usually has an error message saying that it references a storage (Cache) that does not exist. Indeed, I have a number of cache drives and none are named Cache. In the share made today, the new share is "ab_20250402_000001". In settings for this share it says the primary storage is Array and there is no secondary storage. It does NOT say Cache anywhere in the settings. I looked over all my docker settings to see if they point to a high level folder like /mnt/user but I do not see any. As far as I can tell, every one of the new shares contain the same files: backup.log, tar files for my dockers, XML files for my dockers and a vm-meta.tgz. I do not have any VMs installed. I might be able to delete these but I am pretty sure they will just keep coming. The attached screenshot shows what has been happening with my shares. Also attached is diagnostics. Any help would be greatly appreciated... megaplex-diagnostics-20250402-1207.zip
April 2, 20251 yr Community Expert appdata backup creates these folders. Any folder at the top level of array or pools is automatically a user share. You need to make appdata backup put those inside a user share.
April 4, 20251 yr Author Solution Dear trurl, many thanks! I thought it might be simple but I could not figure it out. At my advanced age I get by with a little help from my friends like you. I am very grateful. Some forums are not as kind with what they consider silly questions. Another thing I have not figured out is how to see my servers when I am on the road. I am in Boston but will fix it per your instructions when I am home on Tuesday. Thanks again, this is a great community!!

Optionally, you could use WireGuard (Tailscale uses WireGuard under the covers). Both are configured in Settings. VPN Manager is WireGuard. I have both configured although you could pick just one and stick with it. This video is a bit lengthy but it explains well how to use Tailscale with Unraid.
