VSS and PHYLock allow you to continue using your computer while the backup is locked to a point in time. Image for Windows utilizes the technology provided by Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) or PHYLock, an add-on component included in the package. To restore your data and operating systems to how they were when the backup was created, boot the recovery disk and restore the partition(s) or drive(s) you need to recover. The package includes an easy-to-use MakeDisk wizard for creating a recovery boot disk. Your backups can be saved directly to external USB and FireWire drives, internal or network drives, and even to CD or DVD. I do however consider this issue solved.Įdit: minor punctuation and formatting to make things easier to read.Image for Windows is an easy and convenient way to backup your hard drive\\\'s data and operating system partitions. However, I am unable to set my own thread to Solved without being a "Registered+" user (which I assume means paying some monthly fee). While I agree with the risk of this setting when used incorrectly, in this particular case, this use seems to be the correct use. So even if Plex wanted to write to the files, the permissions at the file level will not allow it.

Further, for the movie files under the share, Plex only has 'read' access.

The applications data, where Plex does need write access, is not shared with anyone. Since the "Safety Check" is to prevent multiple writers from clobbering a file at the same time, AND because Plex only has 'read' access to the the same files shared under the SMB share, there should be no conflict. I have concluded that for this particular instance of TreuNAS Scale with only Plex running, turning off this flag should not be an issue. Understanding the TrueNAS SCALE "hostPathValidation" setting Everything is working fineSo I read through the posts on the Enable Host Path Safety Checks, especially this one:
