Just setup my 2nd Unraid machine - Backup


Greygoose

Recommended Posts

I have a spare computer gaining dust and I've decided the best course of action is Unraid. I plan to use it as an onsite backup machine :D  I have around 800GB of family photos, also would like to backup existing configuration and VM's I use on my main machine.

 

What is the best configuration for this, any recommendations on how to automate this process, best dockers etc?

 

Backup Machine Specs

Dell T20

E3-1225V3 3.2ghz 

20GB DDR 3 EEC Ram

3x 2TB Hard drivers (I am pre-clearing these now to confirm condition)

 

Unraid 6.6.1

You can use CA Backup running on a schedule with the destination set to the backup server (after mounting a share from it via Unassigned Devices).  Won't touch the actual VM Vdisks though.
