Basically title. I'm in the process of setting up a proper backup for my configured containers on Unraid and I'm wondering how often I should run my backup script. Right now, I have a cron job set to run on Monday and Friday nights, is this too frequent? Whats your schedule and do you strictly backup your appdata (container configs), or is there other data you include in your backups?

I have

  • Unraid back up it's USB
  • Unraid appears gets backed up weekly by a community applications (CA app backup) and I use rclone to back it up to an old box account (100GB for life..) I did have it encrypted but seems I need to fix that..
  • Parity drive on my Unraid (8TB)
  • I am trying to understand how to use Rclone to back up my photos to Proton Drive so that's next.

Music and media is not too important yet but I would love some insight
