Hello All,

 

I recently upgraded to V6 and figured I would try some of the new features like Docker and specifically, installing Plex on it. It is killer. Mind blown. HOWEVER, I installed everything on the cache drive (which was my oldest smallest drive) and it failed. No big deal, no data lost, but, I did lose a few days of auto tagging that Plex performs on media. It got me thinking, why not install Docker and all apps on a data drive so they are backed up? Am I missing something? Thanks!

Speed is the primary reason, and also so that the parity disk isn't spun up all the time.

 

What many people do is either install to a cache-pool for redundancy, or daily backup their appData folder to the array

What's the best way to automate this?

Not that I do this, (as I am almost hoping for a cache drive failure so I have an excuse to reorganize everything)

 

Been considering adding something like this to CA if I get interested in doing it myself.

OK, that makes sense. I would be very interested in a method of backing up the app data if you ever get around to doing it yourself. Thanks as always!
