Hi -- I'm very new to Unraid (about a month in). I have a simple config with a j5005-asrock/8GB ram and 3x 4TB HDs in a Node 304 with one parity drive (I'm going for silence and power efficiency). I've been basically aggregating everything I have onto it as a one-stop shop for content, with an external USB via unassigned devices to backup to and an online backup to CrashplanPro via docker.

 

I would like to also pull in all of my content from online providers that I can so that if they go away or make a mistake (or I do) I still have the content. I'm looking at rclone to pull in cloud storage like Google Drive, Box, and Dropbox and suspect that will work fine. But I would also like to capture other online content esp. Google (esp. Gmail/contacts) and Facebook content .. and possibly others if there's an option (e.g. MS Exchange).

 

Are there any tools for doing that? I know I can manually use Google Takeout and that Facebook has a data downloader, so I can manually grab it periodically, but I would love to automate these things. Does anyone have any recommendations/ know of a tool that I failed to find in Googling to suggest -- or know why this is a fool's errand and I should let it go?

 

I know I could setup a VM and automate a cludge to do it (or in the case of Exchange have Outlook keep an OST and/archive to .PST), but I don't know that setting up and maintaining something like that is better than just doing it manually periodically.

 

Thanks

 

 

I don't think there's any tool that would do it automatically. If things that have command line then you can set up regular script to do regular backup.

Thanks testdasi for the input. I'll have to see how adventurous I want to get once I've finished my obsessive tweaking of everything else.

I think I could grow old reading about plugins to solve needs I hadn't even anticipated having yet!
