WebUI enhancement for Scrub Tasks and Smart tests

I’m suggesting additional “do it now” options for handling Scrub and S.m.a.r.t tasks that are defined in the “Data Protection” part of the WebUI. Like they already exist for replication tasks and rsync tasks (the play symbol).

I have a main NAS that runs 24/7, where I’m fine with the scheduled tasks. But I also have two backup NAS systems that are only switched on each sunday, started and replicated to manually. I do have tasks set up for Scrubbing and Smart checks but they are static. If I miss the time to switch on these NAS, I would have to wait for the next trigger (a quarter ahead) or fiddle with the task settings in the WebUI or clicking multiple masks in the WebUI to manually start things for 14 disks, each seperately, or manually start things with scrub and smartctl in the CLI.

It would be so easy to just press a “play” symbol instead to just start an already defined task :slightly_smiling_face: In fact, I do exactly this to replicate things with snapshot and rsync tasks. Defined them once and start them manually when needed, using their “play” symbol.

Summarized, this would be a very convenient option for all NAS that are only switched on when needed. Plus, the status will be shown in the WebUI.

Hello and welcome to the forums.

We have a Feature Request category on the forums I’d strongly suggest you raise this there. This allows other members to vote in agreement and the more votes the more likely iX are to consider implementing.
