Good morning everyone. I apologize in advance if the answer to my doubt is stated in some post in the community or in a kwoledgebase article: I could not find it.
Roon is currently on a QNAP NAS with a suboptimal configuration: for this reason I am planning to purchase Nucleus.
On the NAS I have separated on two external SSDs the Core (and thus also Roon’s library) and the music files. Separation motivated by performance and back-up reasons (I copy the Core and library every other day, the music files only after adding new music.
With Nucleus I have the option of installing an internal SSD that I would allocate for music files (as I have seen in numerous posts). But in this case the system (the core, the server, the library…) where would they be installed?
I hope I have made myself clear.
Thank you
I think that your new situation would be like mine. I have the Roon server on a laptop, and the music files are also on that laptop’s internal drive. It works fine.
However, I make all changes to music files on another computer and then transfer new stuff via a USB thumb drive. In effect, the operational music files (used by Roon) are a backup on the server laptop.
The music files on that other computer are also regularly backed up via Carbonite, whom I recommend highly.
As to backup of the Roon database and server files, I believe that is what Roon’s own backup procedure does.
