Unraid to Qnap (locally)

Support
#1

I have just purchased a Duplicacy account and running the docker on my unraid server. How do I backup my unraid files to my local Qnap NAS? Is it with SFTP and if so, what do I need to do on my Qnap to connect it to Duplicacy as I have no idea.

disclaimer I am completely over my head as I am not tech-savvy. I have been reading a lot of the forums, googling and watching YouTube clips but it is all a little complicated ahaha.

  1. If you are going to run duplicacy in a container you would need to read unraid documentation on how to manage containers in their UI, and description of duplicacy container you are going to be using on what parameters to provide — user names, mount points, etc.
  2. If your target is QNAP I recommend against using SFTP, because the sftp server qnap ships is broken. Use SMB instead, since you are backing up from the same lan.

Step are as follows:

  • run the container on unraid with the parameters from documentation of the image you chose
  • launch web ui and follow Duplicacy User Guide
    • add SMB storage pointing to qnap
    • add backup, using mapped into container location configured in step one.
    • add schedule.
  • done.
