In the User Utilities --> Backup/Restore Appdata application, you are only allowed to choose 1 location to backup your flash and appdata. Preferably it users could choose multiple locations (3 minimum locations: local internal, local external, network/cloud). While I know there is the ability to run a script during backups to do this, however it seems like more work than necessary for a relatively simple and critical task.

Looks like a plugin.

You should ask in the support thread of the plugin.

This is already pretty easy to to with the user scripts plug-in. I honestly didn't even know there was a utility for it. I just use a script

Fair point. The developer of the plug-in is removing support citing functionality being ear marked for incorporation to the Unraid baseline. I did end up creating a script, but I just figured if it's being developed for the OS, then allowing the backup to multiple destinations/targets would be a great addition.

Thanks all.

Do you not feel that a premium file server distro should have a backup utility in the OOBE? No wrong answer here, just seeing what a mod thinks about the lack of implementation in the OOBE after twenty years. Personally, I consider this a necessary feature of utmost importance, and I'm always baffled when a release comes and goes but doesn't bring it.

Sure, scripts, but the major selling point of Unraid is making things accessible to grasp via a great GUI, IMO.

Not knocking anything or anyone here, just seeing if I'm alone in that expectation to be able to backup data when even every turn-key consumer NAS appliance has plenty of backup features in the OOBE.

A simple click webGUI would be great
