  1. If you’re not anal about your poster art then yes, it can be recreated easily. Alternatively, you could store your art in a remote folder and just back that up. The bigger issue with the Plex data (assume it’s similar to Emby as that’s what I use) than the size is the sheer number of small files. Doesn’t lend it itself well to backups or copies.
  2. Checkout URBackup Docker. I think xml backup with this plugin combined with VM backup using URBackup is the best path right now.
  3. So if the Umask is set to 000 in the docker settings, getting tower/nobody permissions is expected? If I want to be able to manually delete backups thru a Windows client should I set the umask to 775 or something else? EDIT: actually the URBackup files can be deleted within my VM client even with tower/nobody. I'm having an issue with the new CA Backup which sounds like a few are having as well.
  4. See this post and subsequent responses:
  5. yeah, ok. This is why I was mixing terminology. I'll go the compressed route with the bootable ISO from URBackup.
  6. So I did a manual image backup and my disk did spin down so we'll see. Thanks!
  7. Thanks for the link. Makes sense now. Is there some reason URBackup would be keeping my disk spun up in the array? It doesn’t seem to spin down unless I manually do it?
  8. FYI, I’m using the compression. Maybe try it with to see?
  9. FYI, I'm getting on average about 400 MBit/sec on the backup rate
  10. Yeah, sorry. Bad terminology on my part.
  11. Ah ok, this makes sense. But is the URBackup boot CD an ISO I need to download somewhere?
  12. Sorry for the n00b vm question but I’m a bit confused on how the iso backup and vdisk file interact if I boot my vm from the iso backup? I assume if I boot from the backup then at some point I’ll switch back to booting from the vdisk file but what else do I have to do before switching back?
  13. Well, it appears to me that with an image backup, you get a mountable ISO file. My question is in the case of a corrupt vdisk image file, what's the process for restoring the backup? It feels like I have to recreate the vm (from saved xml file) but then how do I get the contents of the image into the new vdisk file? Mount the image with unassigned devices and copy the contents over manually or boot from the ISO and then what? EDIT: Also I'm noticing that the disk in my array where I have the backup folder is not spinning down even though I only have image backup enabled on a 7 day cycle?
  14. Also, here's what my first backup looks like: Does this seem correct for a vm installation of Windows 10?
  15. Thanks. I think I just want to setup image backups for my vm inside my Windows client. I'll ask for more details on the restoration process over there. Appreciate the help!
