Basically title. I’m in the process of setting up a proper backup for my configured containers on Unraid and I’m wondering how often I should run my backup script. Right now, I have a cron job set to run on Monday and Friday nights, is this too frequent? Whats your schedule and do you strictly backup your appdata (container configs), or is there other data you include in your backups?

    I use Duplicati for my backups, and have backup retention set up like this:

    Save one backup each day for the past week, then save one each week for the past month, then save one each month for the past year.

    That way I have granual backups for anything recent, and the further back in the past you go the less frequent the backups are to save space
