Backing up a large share

[Ericjr]

I have a substantial media library that I want to back up to multiple external hard drives. I know how to do this on my old Qnap but I'm having a tough time finding a container or application to accomplish this. The backup would more than likely span multiple drives. Is there a good way to accomplish my goal? I have unassigned devices installed and I've used it for some other tasks. I know that's a given. These drives are not going to be attached to unraid when in storage.

With unassigned devices installed you should be able to connect & mount your external hard drive then copy files using a GUI file manager like the Krusader docker or even CLI if your comfortable with that option.

 

This video should cover the essentials.

Thank you.

I used the Syncthing docker when I was backing up to an external drive, but it can get complicated.  Maybe something like Dupicacy/Duplicati (I haven't used either yet).
