Hello,
I have rebooted my QNAP NAS HS 453DX due to a deadlock and it has started a significant system update - including a reinstallation of ROON.
I later found that all my bookmarks were gone and that the last valid backup was made in January 2020! The backups have been scheduled since the purchase of my QNAP NAS, but I see that I have not received a notification message - a failure in my email sending process.
I am also subscribed to IDrive and a copy st programmed on my WDCLOUD device. For this one, Roon does not recognize the path.
I tried this morning to create an additional backup on my MACBOOK Pro to copy it later on Idrive but Roon does not recognize the path.
Here is the path indicated:
smb: // Users
Roon answers me: Invalid Network Path
My two questions:
Can you tell me how to enter the path?
Is there a way to recover saved bookmarks before reinstalling Roon?
We have a great article here detailing the process of adding a shared folder path
Without a backup of that information, I don’t believe there’s much we can do, unfortunately. However, we can plan for the future! We have a guide to making backups that you can check out here.
Please let me know if you have any questions about the processes outlined in these documents!
Thank you very much. I have everything I need about the path. I will try when I will have a bit of free time and let you know how it works.
Backups.
In fact I have backups made by Roon on my QNAP NAS but I don’t know how to use them to recover my TAGS.
In fact the last one madecby Roon were made in Jnuary 2020 - but still it is a lot of information. Moreover, régular back-up are made by IDrive App of my QNAP NAS. But I dont know how to recover the information about the RoonBackups.
I followed the instruction on my MacBook to share a file in order to create a watch folder. An error was signaled.
I have a question : is it possible to create a path for a file which is not were the Core is located?
In fact, actually, the RoonBackups are on my QNAP Nas and I was tryin to created a second location to RoonBackups on my MacBookPro which will copy on iCloud Drive.
The first thing I want to note is that we don’t recommend using third-party backup and restore applications like iDrive. You’ll want always to use a Roon backup. If you have a backup of Roon where these tags exist (it sounds like you do) then that should get you back in the right place.
Since the backup on your NAS, you’ll need to connect to it over the network in order to restore the backup. We have information about this here.
Can you share a screenshot of the path that you’re trying to enter, along with the error you’re seeing? Does the path conform to the format in the article I linked to above? Are you entering the username and password?
Hey @Gaetan_Patenaude, thanks for the screenshot! Things look good to me, unless the password is incorrect. Can you send me a screenshot of you reaching this path in finder? Let’s see if there’s any issue accessing it from there. Thanks!
