How do you plan your unraid tasks? (mover, parity check, ssd trim, backups,...)

Hi, i'm figuring out on how to plan automated tasks done by unraid itself. For instace, I think it's wise not to excecute the mover and parity check at the same time.

Our array is only 4TB small with a 2TB parity disk so it doesn't take much time to perform the parity check. 

 

I don't have cache parity (yet) so i'm running mover daily and gave it a 30min time.

SSD trim plugin every 2 weeks with 30min time (is this even still needed in Unraid 6.6.7 ?)

Parity check is planned every 3 months with a 5h time.

Then i have daily backups for all my data shares:

 

  • Documents - 30min
  • ISO's - 30min
  • Music - 30min
  • Pictues - 45min
  • Videos - 1h

 

This is what i planned so far:

As you can see most of the work is done at night (when the server sits idle) except the parity check. Is this a the 'right' way to do it or do i need more time between tasks to save the disks (temp., reads/writes)?

 

Any input on this is welcome.

I use Parity Tuner to Only run from 12AM-6AM which normally takes 2.25 Days from start to finish

I use Mover Tuner set to NOT move files while Parity check is running

I have CA Backup set to run on the 5th of every month

I have SSD Trim setup to run Daily at 3AM

I have all my scripts set to run whenever they are scheduled, but not during Parity check

I have Plex set to scan my drives at 6:30AM-8:00AM
