What is the best backup (docker or plugin) I can use to achieve a full image backup/snapshot of my OMV install? Which one do you feel is easiest to use? My plan is to get OMV4 installed and in a stable state with plex, hanbrake, SMB share, shellinabox, etc..plus whatever backup solution I end up going with....and then immediately back it all up so that I can recover perfectly to that state if/WHEN things go sideways with docker/plugins. Ideally, I would like the program to just create a backup in the form of an .iso file that I can access over a SMB share, then burn that to a USB drive using Rufus or whatever. That way I can just throw that USB on my OMV server and have it flash/revert my OS drive to the backup, without having to go through the process of reinstalling OMV, then omvextras, then docker, etc etc. Or if there is a different, but still easy, stable, reliable way of accomplishing this, I'm all ears. What are your preferences for backing up OMV?
TL;DR:
- Need full image backup solution (.ISO, etc) so I can completely recover my OMV without having to go THROUGH OMV itself to backup (in case it breaks and I can no longer access OMV or it's backup plugin)... but open to all suggestions
- Turn key, quick, and easy to use/reliable are huge pluses! I'm NOT an avid Linux user at all, CLI is still very new to me
