Backup media files (not media library files, but actual media files, movies, pictures and so on)

  • Anyone have a good solution for backing up media content? I'm considering installing libreelec instead of omv, and using my "server" as a player too. I will run some docker images for added functionality, but i'm a little concerned on how im going to backup my content without to much trouble.

    At the moment im using veeam linux agent on my openmediavault to back up to an usb. This is quite effective as i dont need to copy all the old files everytime, and still get backup history without it taking up all the space on my backup storage.

    I've looked at the backup plugin, but there's not much documentation on how it handles the backups, cuz if its copying all the files (1.3 TB) everytime its gonna take a lot of time.

    Any advice would be appreciated..

  • I use rclone to sync between my server and my backup computer. As it "syncs" it keeps an identical copy. This means it only copies "new files".

    It also allow you to backup to cloud storage if required.
