Took the 30 day plunge and am now a happy owner of UnRaid.

I've got backup question though.

 

-I have an SSD cache drive where appdata, system, domains as well as some other stuff lives on "prefer" setting

-I've got the CA appdata backup happening.

 

Will I break something if I set up an rsync script to sync the cache drive to the array (/mnt/user/) ?

 

Also for clarification:  If the contents of appdata,system,domains (or other shares) live on cache, but there is also a copy on the array in those same folders.. which gets used?  Does cache take precedence over lowest numbered disk for folders with same name?

 

Is it ok to rsync the docker.img inside 'system' while running?

Things can get confusing if you have copies of the same file on both the cache and the array in the same folders.     There will only be on copy visible via the User share and you will not easily be able to determine which one is being used at any point in time.   If you must back them up to the array then I would suggest using a different top level foldername (e.g. backups')

 

If you have CA backup running' then you may well already be backing up most of the critical components.

OK thank you.   I've got CA doing its thing and set up an rsync to a backup folder as you suggested.
