At several times I gave up on the convoluted steps required to add or remove disks without invalidating parity, and just reconfigured the array and then rebuilt parity, hoping nothing goes wrong during the parity rebuild.
#Unraid pro manual#
But adding and removing disks is still mostly a manual process, and doing it without invalidating parity is very cumbersome and time consuming. Storage and disk management is reasonably easy, and much more flexible compared to hardware RAID management. Next time I will wait a few weeks for the dust to settle in the plugin community before updating.
It is worth mentioning, again, that I find it strange that Unraid without community provided plugins is really not that usable, but the functionality still remains in community provided plugins, not in Unraid.
#Unraid pro full#
It took several weeks before plugin updates were released that restored full functionality. When the Unraid 6.7.0 release went public, I immediately updated, but soon realized my mistake, when several plugins stopped working. My B2 storage cost will be a few $ higher compared to a single seat license for CrashPlan Pro, but the Duplicati plus B2 functionality and speed is superior. Where after 5 days I stopped CrashPlan, when it estimated another 18 days to complete the same backup operation, and it showed the familiar out of memory error. Duplicati is the clear winner, backups were very fast, and completed in about 3 days.
#Unraid pro pro#
I tested CrashPlan Pro and Duplicati containers on Unraid, with Duplicati backing up to Backblaze B2. I have been a long time user of CrashPlan, and I switched to CrashPlan Pro when they stopped offering a consumer product. I chose to switch to Nx Witness, no DW Spectrum, from XProtect because Nx Witness is lighter in resource consumption, easier to deploy, easier to update, has perpetual licenses, includes native remote viewing, and an official Docker release is forthcoming. DW Spectrum is the US brand name for the Nx Witness product, and the DW Spectrum branded product is sold in the US. Docker allowed me to move all but one of my workloads from VM’s to containers, simplifying updates, reducing the memory footprint, and improving performance.įor my IP security camera NVR software I did switch from Milestone XProtect Express running on a W2K16 VM, to DW Spectrum running on an Ubuntu Server VM. Running Docker on Unraid is magnitudes easier compared to getting Docker to work on Windows. Now that I’ve had two Unraid servers in production for a while, I’ll describe some of the good and not so good I experienced.
#Unraid pro registration#
To see the following number of attached storage devices, follow this path in the UNRAID web interface: Tools > About > Registration Rules of UNRAID licensing It is possible to get the number of attached devices out of UNRAID, but only after you have built your system and you have a trial or license version running. Tier 1 – BasicĪ screenshot from one of my UNRAID servers. Limetech currently (1st January 2020) offers 3 license tiers – they haven’t changed for years and there is little to no sign of them changing in the near future. So here we are, an UNRAID license calculator that you and I can reference when looking to figure out what license to buy. I ran a quick Google search for ‘UNRAID license Calculator’ and to my amazement, nobody had created such and tool including LimeTech and if they had, Google was forthcoming in providing the result.
