April 17Apr 17 Hi... I just updated to the newest version of vault and it looks like im unable to change the database location off of my flash drive.... It is also unable to recognize my cache pool
May 15May 15 Hi,Since updating to Unraid 7.3, Volt Backup no longer seems able to back up folders correctly.For example, the Unraid USB boot device is still detected properly and can be backed up without any issue. However, when I try to add my AppData folder, Volt Backup reports that the path does not exist.The folder is still present and fully accessible directly from Unraid, so the path itself is valid.Before upgrading to Unraid 7.3, everything was working correctly, including AppData backups.At the moment, this is problematic because I mainly want to back up my AppData along with the rest of my system.Could this be related to a change introduced in Unraid 7.3?Maybe Volt Backup needs an update to support the new version?Has anyone else experienced this issue?Thanks!

June 2Jun 2 Plugin is great. Using it on 2 servers. I like the s3 feature, very useful.having an issue with 2 things to do with VM:1) Editing a VM backup it always defaults to Snapshot and never to cold backup.2) Backup always fails for VMNo log errors that I can see, if there are logs. Just seeing a message of failed.It takes forever to backup too, gets to about 70% then fails. There is enough space for staging (2tb) but still fails. S3 bucket is valid and has space

I'll fix the UI bug. How big is your VM backups? How many VM's do you backup? I tested with a 3GB VM backup to backblaze s2 using S3 adapter and it works fine
June 4Jun 4 Just started using this plugin, working great so far except got a failure last night on a Plex appdata backup ( only thing in the job and was canceled automatically after running for just over 2 hours ( running unraid ver 7.2.3.) The Failure indicated the following: backup chunked: backup volume /tmp: dedup: pack size 555948859 bytes exceeds safety bound 100663296The backup was going to a remote SMB location where other backups have worked for VM and plugins I also made sure to excluded the recommended paths for Plex as well.Any insight you have would be great.Thanksbackup chunked: backup volume /tmp: dedup: pack size 555948859 bytes exceeds safety bound 100663296

June 15Jun 15 Firstly. Out the gate. Holy sh*t does this Plugin look fantastic, the UI is fantastic too and the features! just want to put that out there! - refreshing to Install, and just have something that feels natural to configure with "The Right Options" for the users.Now, I'm only gripes so far is that it isn't great backing up Docker Containers. there isn't a real easy way of excl Mount Points via Dockers. what i mean is. Sonarr as the obvious /config but it also looks at my Media Collection, upon Backing up, it will try and pull ALL MY DATA into the Backup too. There is sadly no easy way of Stopping a Backup once its started other than Killing the Vault Process. which isnt ideal.With the likes of Easy Backup Plugin, there is a way of Unticking/Ticking per Docker what you DONT want to have Backed up. which worked great. Sadly, Vault requires a Manual "Per Docker" Excl per Folder which is a slow process if you have Many Dockers.So far, so good overall though and thanks so so much for creating something that is 1) Nice to look at. 2) Easy to Configure 3) Feature Rich without overloading the brain 4) Scheduling System 5) List goes on!

June 21Jun 21 How can I set up notifications for successful backups? I only receive notifications for failed backups.In the advanced settings for each job, in the notifications section, I only see pre and post backup scripts.

I only receive notifications for failed backups.In the advanced settings for each job, in the notifications section, I only see pre and post backup scripts.Hello, I had a few issues with the notifications system but should be sorted out now in the latest version. BTW: If you use home assistant you can also use the vault integration to notify you of backup failures and do other automations. https://github.com/ruaan-deysel/ha-vault. Before using the HA Vault integration just make sure you set the plugin's bind address to your unraid servers IP address from drop-down list and get the API key from Vault --> Settings --> Security --> API Access. You will need that to setup the integration.
June 22Jun 22 Hey PanicMechanic! Just seen you have added the Easy Tickboxes which is fantastic, thanks!1 Small Question/Issue, it seems some of my Containers, the Tickbox to "Exclude?" is greyed out and shows as Auto Exclude, so this may be just me being stupid, is this a "put a Tick in the Box" if you want to backup that Path/Data or is this a "Tick the box" to Exclude the Data/Path from the Backup?Also as above, some boxes cant be modified?Image is 1 Example (bunch of others are similar).I wish to keep "Config" but exclude "UNR1, UNR2, UNR3" as an example/again, thanks for the Super awesome work!

Great question - and you're not being stupid at all, the wording is a bit ambiguous!The tickbox means "back this up", not "exclude this". So: - Ticked = that path/data is included in the backup - Unticked = that path is left out - Greyed-out + "Auto-excluded" = Vault skips it automatically (media shares, remote shares, etc.) because those are usually huge shared data you don't want in an appdata backup, so I lock them off.For your example - to keep Config and drop UNR1/2/3 - UNR2 and UNR3 are already auto-excluded (they're /mnt/remotes shares), and you'd just untick UNR1. One thing I've spotted from your screenshot: your Jellyfin /config lives on an Unassigned Devices disk (/mnt/disks/...). Vault is currently auto-excluding the whole /mnt/disks/ family as "direct disk", which is wrong - appdata on an Unassigned Devices SSD should absolutely be backable. That's a bug on my side, not you. I'll get it fixed so that box is tickable. In the meantime, you can still protect that config by adding /mnt/disks/CTU-INTG-240GB-1/appdata/Jellyfin as a Folder backup - that path isn't auto-restricted, so it'll back up fine.Thanks a lot for the kind words and for flagging this!
