Various bash scripts to be used in the User Scripts plugin in Unraid
This script creates an individual tar file for each docker appdata directory found in your appdata path. Furthermore, it stops and restarts each container before and after backup if the container was running at the time of the backup.
This script creates a dated tar file of the Unraid USB flash drive.
This script stops the plex container and copies the main plex db file to a backup location of your choosing before restarting the container.
This script creates an individual tar.gz file for all the plexdata that you redirect to be outside of your regular plex appdata directory.

This script creates an invididual tar file for each docker appdata directory that you define (needs both container name and path to it's appdata). Furthermore, it stops and restarts each container before and after backup if the container was running at the time of the backup.
