Hi, in this post I will show you how to use my custom developed backup script for your Unraid server.
REQUIREMENTS
- Proxmox server (backup server)
- Unraid server (server with data -> for backup)
- at least as big hard disk in backup server (Proxmox) as data on Unraid server
- Authorize Proxmox ssh access (by IP address) (DE)
- Enable WakeOnLan autostart for Proxmox (DE)

INSTRUCTIONS:
- Copy the backup script by clicking on the link „GitHub code“. On the GitHub page you can now download the code. (MIT-Licence applies when using it).
- Adjust ALL VARIABLES
3. Go to your Unraid web interface. Publicly under the item „SETTINGS“ „Userscripts“. Create a new script with „ADD NEW SCRIPT“ and insert the ADAPTED script.
4. before the script can be started, you must have fulfilled ALL REQUIREMENTS.
5. Now we can start the script for the first time.
Please note the following: (PLEASE NOTE THE WARNINGS THAT YOU WILL FIND ON GITHUB, AS WELL AS HERE FIND)
- Proxmox should be shut down while the script starts. The script starts the Proxmox server itself.
- If possible, do not interrupt/cancel the script. (In case of a missing source or an incorrectly specified source, the script will be aborted even before the backup server is started).
With this, the backup script should run through without any problems. Depending on the mass of data, this may take a long time.
The script is completed with a confirmation message in the Unraid interface and a message in the script.
If you want to restore such a backup script, you can use my restore script.
