January 4Jan 4 Hello, does anybody have a config that they could share with me for pre- or post-scripts of the Unraid VM Backup plugin?Unfortunately, there is a bug, and the repo is more or less unmaintained: https://github.com/JTok/unraid.vmbackup/issues/47But if somebody already has some upload scripts and can show the structure of the folder with permissions, it would be awesome.
January 6Jan 6 what exactly are you wanting done with what where.vms and libvirt (especal with snapshots) and not easy to make full backups.
January 6Jan 6 Author I want to do VM backups and I would like to monitor that they run with Healthchecks. So I want pre and post-scripts to run.
January 7Jan 7 ok not enough data to assist either way...vm xml, vm vdisk, vm os loaders. Hardware passed? Theses can cause issues...VM vdisks snapshots, qdisk vs raw vs etc... backup will not target passed devices.. per example...if snapshots you need to grab additional libvirt data... essential the database history to restore the vdisk... more info on that on the forum in other posts....(its honestly best to not touch snapshots AT ALL if using the backup systems... or to make it 1 vdisk file again) theres caveats and gotchas to that... also explain on the forum... DID you do your research as you not asking questions...Unraid doesn't support "health checks" for VM that i'm aware of... health checks in what way? that the vm started again? that a qm start error code and vise versa... as this seems like somehtign that can be easily scripted...unrids vms systems use limvirt qemu systems in xml domain format.https://libvirt.org/formatdomain.htmlyou want a backup script for pre or post that fine... but again to what targeting what for what where...not enough data to assist either way...did you read any of the support forum pages or docs?https://forums.unraid.net/topic/86303-vm-backup-plugin/https://www.reddit.com/r/unRAID/comments/18xo4kf/vm_backup_best_practices/https://forums.unraid.net/topic/51703-vm-faq/#comment-523800https://www.reddit.com/r/unRAID/comments/57j8f6/video_guide_backing_up_and_restoring_vms_in/https://docs.unraid.net/unraid-os/using-unraid-to/create-virtual-machines/vm-setup/
