Is there a script that can be ran, say once a week, that will allow me to backup my entire unraid server?

 

When I say the entire thing, I mean All of docker, all of KVM, including the docker img and the VM img, the USB boot drive, I mean everything. I want to use rsync, so that after the first transfer it can just make incremental changes to the backup. I don't need versions, I just need 1 copy of the entire server that gets updated once a week.

 

I imagine this must be doable, but im not sure where to start.

I already have that plugin installed. I'm looking for something that will backup everything in one shot including the array and my vdisks.

 

No, there's not a single script that does everything you want (at least not that I know of), but there are several scripts that do. I have 3 scripts running included @Squid 's excellent ca appdata backup/restore

 

 

1. Ca appdata backup/restore takes care of the docker containers, libvrirt,img and usb backup. I've configured it to run once a week.

2. A script to backup VM's and xml's which I found here thanks to @danioj , @JTok and everyone else that may have contributed. I have my script running once a month.

3. A script to backup my array which I found here ,here and here thanks to @tr0910 , @Hoopster and everyone else that may have contributed. This script I have running once a week.

4. The cronjobs are configured using (once again) @Squid 's excellent user script plugin

 

Now that I have said thank you to all the guys that did all the hard work for me and you, all you have to do is take all the legos and piece them together. The scripting gurus made it easy as they have molded and crafted all the pieces. And now you also have the blueprint/manual which I have listed, so off you go,  and have fun building! :)

 

 

also use ca appdata and use cloudberry backup to back up all my shares to a synology. also use rclone to sync to the cloud.
