Rhodius Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 (edited) I've been reading the topics here, paying particular attention to the following thread. Correct way to move files between shares? - General Support - Unraid I'm using cron job and rclone to schedule backups to an external USB drive. This combination has been working beautifully. But I've only used it for a particular folder that doesn't span disk, so with the external at /mnt/disks/externalX, the source is at /mnt/diskX/folderX, I'm not running into issues copying user shares to disks and vice versa. The current command I use is (I know I'm missing the delete back up folder there as part of the command, will be adding it soon) rclone sync -v /mnt/diskX/FolderX /mnt/disks/externalX/FolderX Now I'm about to add backing up folders that span multiple disks, how should I do this? The easiest way I can think of is rclone sync -v /mnt/user/FolderY /mnt/disks/externalX/FolderY Am I running into issues especially once I added the delete back up folder command (the one that moves deleted files and folder into a separate folder) since I'm mixing user shares and disks here? Unfortunately the external drive is at /mnt/disks/. Folks that have more experience with Unraid/Linux can help, please? Thanks folks. Edited December 4, 2020 by Rhodius Quote Link to comment
Rhodius Posted December 4, 2020 Author Share Posted December 4, 2020 Before anyone asks, the reason I'm using rclone above, I'm already using that for backing up to cloud, so it's easier to just use the same tool. Quote Link to comment
itimpi Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 What you want should work fine. The potential problem only arises when you mix /mnt/user and /mnt/disk (without an ‘s’) or /mnt/cache type paths in the same command. When using unassigned drives you are fine. Quote Link to comment
