How to "protect" a user share


Recommended Posts

It's telling you some or all of those shares exist on the cache drive, which currently is just a single drive with no duplication. If you have your cache drive formatted BTRFS, you can add a second identical drive to the cache pool, and it will automatically set up as RAID1 and show as protected. If your cache drive is currently XFS, you will need to back it up somewhere else and reformat to BTRFS before it will allow you to do that.

 

All this assumes you want to "fix" the yellow triangles, which isn't really necessary, it's my opinion that it's better to use CA Backup and keep any cache resident VM's backed up separately rather than deal with a BTRFS pool that really only provides device redundancy, not true backup.

 

Also, the way you worded the question makes me think you may be thinking unraid automatically backs up your data. IT DOES NOT! Unraid provides for the ability to replace a failed drive, which is only one way out of many to lose data. If the data is valuable to you, it needs to be backed up to a physically separate device or location.
