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?

    This may work for you and please continue doing that.

    But I’ll get the 1080p with a moderate bitrate version of whatever I can aquire because I want it in the first place and not grab whatever I can to fill up my disk.

    And as I mentioned: Matching 500 episodes (e.g. Looney Tunes and Disney shorts) manually isnt fun.
    Much less if you also want to get the exact release (for example music) of a certain media and need to play detective on musicbrainz.

      Matching 500 episodes (e.g. Looney Tunes and Disney shorts) manually isnt fun.

      With tools like TinyMediaManager, why in the absolute fuck would you do it manually?

      At this point, it sounds like you’re just bad at media management more than anything. 1080p h265 video is at most between 1.5-2GB per video. That means with even a modest network connection speed (500Mbps lets say) you can realistically download 5TB of data over 24 hours… You can redownload your entire media library in less than 4-5 days if you wanted to.

      So why spend ~$700 on 2 20TB drives, one to be used only as redundancy, when you can simply redownload everything you previously had (if you wanted to) for free? It’ll just take a little bit of time.

      Complete waste of money.

        I prefer Sonarr for management.
        Problem is the auto matching.
        It just doesnt always work.
        Practical example: Looney. Tunes.and.Merrie.Melodies.HQ.Project.v2022

        Some episodes are either not in the correct order or their name is deviating from how tvdb sorts it.
        Your best regex/automatching can do nothing about it if Looney.Tunes.Shorts.S11.E59.The.Hare.In.Trouble.mkv should actually be named Looney.Tunes.Shorts.S1959.E11.The.Hare.In.A.Pickle.mkv to be automatically imported.

        At some point fixing multiple hits becomes so tedious it’s easier to just clear all auto-matches and restart fresh.
