Hey everyone, first time poster, please go easy on me :)
I have recently created a truenas scale build and have been testing and learning about it. I am planning to use it as a photo/video backup solution to replace my Google Photos and OneDrive backup. I am planning to use NextCloud, Photoprism and Zerotier as apps to do the photo/video backup from my phones.
I have gotten all these apps working as I want them to work but I am now struggling to find a working backup and restore method. I have followed what TrueCharts had in their guide and the total system restore does not work for me. I have also contacted them on their discord support and they couldn't help me. Whenever I try to find a backup after I wipe the boot and pool and replicate ix-applications dataset in the new "Main" pool, truetool can't find it.
I can easily backup and restore the photos/videos using replication tasks as I create a different dataset for these but I am now struggling to find a way to backup and restore the apps I have installed using TrueCharts.
I am hoping someone has some sort of process they've tried and tested that worked for them to backup and restore apps on a fresh install of TrueNas SCALE. Keen to hear them and try them out on my own.
