Full backup process

  • Hi I'm new with the comunity but I really love OMV, It allow me to do lots of things in a easy way. So now I'm trying to put a system into operation that allow me to backup as much as i can a restore the fastest way.

    First I have OMV running in a 128 ssd in a server that I assamble with core i3 8gb of ram and several disk besides the omv one. Also i have a second 128 ssd connect through usb for cloning OMV main disk.

    Now what I'm trying to do is to make a backprocess that run alone, first a complete clone of the OMV disk, for fast restore. Secundo I need to backup to a certainr disk several folder (mainly docker config files) to one particular disk.

    So what do you recomend for this task? is there a uniq way for everything?

    Just one thing I would prefere that all backuyp is made online.

  • OMV has its own backup option (System/backup) for the system disks. I recommend choosing the "fsarchiver" method since it offers the best compression and the easiest restore process. For more info on that restore process you can read this: https://www.fsarchiver.org/quickstart/


    For any other sources you can use the Rsync plugin under Services (not sure if you have to activate it first from "plugins").

  • thanks, one more question, can i clone the disk while it's in use?



    Another question about the pluginn. The share folder option is where the backup file will be save?

    Should i set the root device o extra options?

    finally is the any help document about this pluginn?

    Yes.

    Yes.


    Should i set the root device o extra options?

    Only if it is not detecting your root device properly. You will need to run a backup to know that.


    finally is the any help document about this pluginn?

    What kind of docs? There are a couple of restore guides on the forum and plenty of threads about the plugin.

  • I just fish my first backup, but I have no idea if its correct or if the correct disk was save. Is the a way to check this? can i open the files and se the content?

    Do you have the output from the first backup? It depends on which method you chose on whether you can easily look at the backup files.

    When you clicked the Backup button manually run a backup, you didn't get any output? Very strange. Unless you are using some strange setup for the boot drive (like LVM, btrfs, etc), it shouldn't have a problem detecting the root drive.
