Backup .apps?
Greetings, We have a ReadyNAS 3138 running 6.10.1 We would like to create a daily backup of the .apps folder. .apps is a hidden folder on the data volume. We can see it when mounted in Wind...
You should actually only be seeing it in File Explorer if you are using the admin credentials. I don't think there is any guarantee that a backup of .apps can be restored and have everything work as expected. There is no backup mechanism built into the NAS for apps. Since it's a hidden folder, I'm not sure whether a complete volume backup will get it or not.
After research and experimation this was the conclusion that I had reached. Thanks for verifying Sandshark.
I'm need to backup the metadata that the Plex server stores in the .apps folder. I haven't found any dependable information about this however.
I'm going to check in on the Plex forum. If I learn anything useful, I will post here.
Thanks again!
