Hi, is there a way I can simply backup my roon music files from my roon core which has my 1tb memory drive. thank you.

You’ll need a third-party solution to backup your music files, it’s not built-in to Roon.

This thread names a few candidates:

Backup of music files

So far I am backing up my music files per drag and drop from the main HDD to the backup-drives. Is there any software you would recommend for this task? I can run it on Windows, Mac and Raspberry. Or do you have any links which might be of interest regarding this topic?

Thanks Geoff, once the music files are in the roon core, then I will be unable to get them out again to copy or backup?

Er no. I use Allway sync running on my desktop PC to access the internal HDD in my ROCK-based NUC. No problem.

Thanks very much

Amazon’s Cloud, which goes by the name Amazon Photo and also by Amazon Drive–3 names, same service–has backed up the music files I have on a USB drive that is connected to my Nucleus. (It’s also backed up the photo and video files on a different USB drive that is connected to my router.) This was easy to do. The alternative recommended elsewhere in these responses, call Allway Sync, I couldn’t get to work well. Amazon has some support. Allway had none or it was poor - I don’t recall.
