I’m completely new to NZBdrone after having used Sickbeard for years.
I’ve got it installed on my Synology NAS, and it looks really slick so far.
I’ve got a question however, I like to have my shows download to a separate folder so I can review them before putting them on my file server. I got script going that copies the file to both a backup location and the file server once I’m happy with them
I have a bad feeling about allowing a program write access to my file server… but I’m sure I can get over that. So I guess my questions is (finally), is there a way that NZBdrone can make a copy of the file in one location, before moving the file to the final location?
The problem is I really want to keep a separate backup. I’ve had a complete NAS failure already this year, and was soo incredibly glad a had a complete backup.
I don’t want to have to filter through show folders manually to back up shows. Any ideas?
I’ve never done that before Taloth, but i’ll have a read and see how hard it is… Thanks for the suggestion
I’m not very linux savvy, got i Synology Nas, but havent ventured far outside the GUI. Hopefully it is not that different to setting up some batch files in Windows
It Would be nice if it could look for files created last 24hours, and back them up to a separete drive outside of the main raid volume.
That’s based on an old version of DSM. In the latest version, click the magnifying glass at the top right to search, type “backup” and click “Backup and Replication” in the list that will appear below. In the new screen, click “Backup” on the left hand side, then “Create” -> “Data backup task” at the top. After that the screens should be pretty intuitive.
Problem is i got 15tb in the syno tv volume, but only 2tb on the current backup drive, whatever solution cannot be syncing, or checking whats already on the backup drive, it just need to copy files created in a day, then when the external drive is full, i swap it for a new one.
Edit: maybe i’ll just cheat, and write it in windows, connect to the NAS volume and back up to a windows drive via the PC… At least i’ll know what i am doing then, which is always handy.
Why is it even so important to back up data that you can simply download again? I get it for hard-to-get series and important data but for this sort of stuff it makes little sense.
