Do I need to have the siad running to take care of my uploaded files?



  • What responsibillity does my siad process have in protecting/relocating my uploaded data?

    Hi, we should find some way to make this information accessible, I'm sorry that it's not immediately obvious.

    You need to make sure that you run Sia for a few hours every 6-9 weeks. If it starts uploading data, that means it's doing file repairs and you should leave it on until the file repairs finish.

    I should add, if you go more than 12 weeks without running Sia, you are pretty much guaranteed to lose all of your files.
