May 1, 20188 yr I have some folders I want to backup to some external drives. Added bonus if it auto recognized when I plugged in the drive, it would run backup script! I have toyed around with Duplicati, which I saw on backup video by spaceinvaderone. I am having issues. It does not seem to run completely. I installed it two weeks ago and not backed up the folder. I know duplicati is geared toward online backups. I really like the idea of snapshots. I had a custom made backup script utilizeing rsync (I got from a friend good at scripting) that I ran on my old arch linux box. Is there a good program/docker/app I can run on unraid? Is duplicati the best? Suggestions please.

May 2, 20188 yr Author The issue is I have SMR drives (pain in the ass from seagate) Everything I have read I can't encrypt the full drive with Shingled media. What I did in the past was make a large container file, Then mount that as a drive. Well my backup script did that. Then backed up folders with rsync command. I have not found a good way to mount a luks encrypted file to a drive (mount drive to computer, then cryptsetup open command to open the container. Then mount that to a folder) via webgui of unraid. I can do it through console I guess. I like how duplicate will encrypt the backup and i don't have to worry about all the opening of containers. I think I finally got it to work. SLOW AS SNOT though on first backup. I think 3tb will take me a day or three. Ohh well. Lets see how this works. I also like how duplicati takes snapshots I believe. So I can role back a day or three. With my old basic script. It just backed up files. All you had was from last backup.
