[(null) Camera Backup]

I might suggest removing and reinstalling the application. I hope you have better luck with it. 

[(null) Camera Backup]

No matter what I do, I cannot get my iPad to generate a link that doesn't contain "(Null) Camera Backup" as the name of the device and camera backup folder.  This is excruciatingly unintuitive.  I've undone and redone adding the Camera Backup over and over again and there's nowhere on the device where I can set the name so it isn't NULL.

 

I think that is specific to your iOS and platform as I'm using an older iPhone 6s running 13.7 and client version 2.6.9(406) and cannot replicate your problem. Perhaps sharing your model and software versions might assist someone in answering your question. 

 

[Linux server - multiple users with multiple instances]

Oh, and for ease of use with Linux rsync mv cd and cp commands, I suggest that you refrain from using spaces in your directory names.

Another elegant solution might be to mount your RAID array using nfs and store the server "resilio-sync" directory right on the RAID drive. 

[Linux server - multiple users with multiple instances]

You could run the docker container of resilio sync on each machine (linux) or the regular  Windows, MAC clients. I find the docker solution elegant and very simple to replicate on other linux clients. 

From my docker-compose.yml file

 

 resilio-sync:
    image: linuxserver/resilio-sync
    container_name: resilio-sync
    environment:
      - PUID=1000
      - PGID=1000
      - TZ=America/Toronto
      - UMASK_SET=022 #optional
    volumes:
      - /docker/resilio-sync/config:/config
      - /docker/resilio-sync/cache:/downloads
      - /home/pi/sync:/sync
    ports:
      - 8888:8888
      - 55555:55555
    restart: unless-stopped

Let me explain the volumes:

volumes:
      - /docker/resilio-sync/config:/config  #main program dir where config info is stored on local disk outside of the container
      - /docker/resilio-sync/cache:/downloads # cache dir for partial downloads
      - /home/pi/sync:/sync # a shared folder gets stored here. You create "myshare" and it would then have a path of "/home/pi/sync/myshare"

Why not run an rsync cron to synchronize/mirror to your RAID array? Or something such as rsnapshot?  Backup is accomplished using rsnapshot to save it to a software raid array on a daily basis. so all my backups are automated, and up to four months old at any point. 

Multitple users: You can do this with the Family key, you could then decide on the folder type that would be shared across your users. I have a single user case with multiple windows, linux and android clients, so I have my always on Pi hosting a shared folder.

I am not sure about removing the source files once you have moved them to your RAID array... Perhaps someone else can comment on that? 


 

[Change location of Sync folder - Windows]

I've been trying to move the main sync folder to %USERPROFILE%\sync from %USERPROFILE%\Onedrive\Documents as I was a bonehead and installed the folder to an area that limits me to 4gb of content. Windows 10.0.18363

I admit, I allowed OneDrive to do it's thing with my laptop, and got a bit peeved when I found out that everything is now by default stored in the limited 5gb free account. 

When I try to do a cut and paste I get "The action can't be completed because the folder or a file in it is open in another program". 

• using an elevated command prompt does not work
• disconnecting folder in resilio sync and pausing sync in OneDrive does not work
• I checked the Services App but Resilio Sync nor btsync was listed as running?
• The FAQ for moving the folder is incredibly weak. More of a cheering section than actual instructions. "Yes you can! Ask us how!"
• I considered removing the file folder locally but Resilio Sync warned me that it would reach out to my server, the Raspberry Pi and delete it there as well as all the connected devices. ???
