Hi All, New to Roon but jumped in with both feet after my free trail as absolutely loved it. I’ve bought a NUC to run rock and I would like to rip all my CD collection and store it on a dedicated SSD in the NUC and have a copy SSD for disaster recovery. To do this are the general thoughts still t…

[image] MSwiss: If I use Rock can it be copied from the NUC to an external SSD for a backup? A word to the wise, make backups of your backups. And then back them up.

[image] MSwiss: If I use Rock can it be copied from the NUC to an external SSD for a backup? There’s no backup function for music files in Roon OS (at the moment - can’t speak for the future). You will need to use a backup or copy application running on a PC/Mac/NAS to do this - and it would …
