UrBackup: How can i change the storage to a newly created Raid 1

backupdebianraid

Recently

i created a NAS with OpenMediaVault (OMV 5.6.16-1 usul) with an old PC that i have here, my intention with this is to create an external backup for a Windows PC using UrBackup (2.1.20), i did the installation using portainer.

I already did a test, and it's working fine but recently i got a hold of two 1Tb HDD and used them to create a new RAID 1 storage, so my question is:

  • How can i set the default storage so that all the backups go to this newly created RAID instead of the default one?

Note: This is a fresh install so i don't have data inside and there is no risk of losing anything.

Thanks in advance

According to the documentation, you should type

echo "/media/backup/urbackup" > /etc/urbackup/backupfolder

Where /media/backup/urbackup is your backup folder. If the RAID creation create a new directory, just change the backupfolder configuration file.

Note UrBackup seems to be optimised for ZFS or BtrFS.
