Hello, I currently use Active Backup for Business on my NAS to backup my Linux servers. However I saw that you can also backup MacOS computers. I own a MacBook and an iMac. However the iMac is mostly locked but turned on.

Do Macs have to be actively used while backing up to your NAS or does this work even when the screen is locked and the screen of the iMac is black?

I love Obsidian for everything but moved to Logseq a while ago because I find it better for handling quotes from books more fluid. However, maybe there's a better way to achieve what I'm trying.

So...I'd like to be able to write specific quotes somewhere and link them to a book. That's pretty easy due to internal links. However, can I somehow write (i.e. into my daily note) the quote, place a #quote [[Link to Bookname]] behind it and then display it (for e.g. with the Dataview plugin inside the note for the book the quote is from?

In Logseq I can do this using their queries and filter for the "nodes" I have a specific link or tag included while leaving out the rest of the page.

My main reason for trying to achieve this is because I don't want to force myself to have my quotes only inside the book's note (maybe 2 quotes of 2 books are connected. Having all quotes of a book inside the book's page prevents me from correctly linking) and I also don't want to create a specific page for that quote because:

• this would create thousands of files that would at some point have negative performance impacts onto my vault
• I struggle with naming those files in a good way when creating a file for every note

I mostly want to have this fluid approach of just showing / querying for the quotes I want to query after using tags or something. It's much more flexible so I just write and don't care about the structure or having to plan beforehand which YAML frontmatter to use, etc.

For me personally Logseq filled the gap of Obsidian to have something fluid enough to handle quotes. In some cases quotes get their own page and in some other cases I reference to them inside the page of the book they’re from.
In all cases I write my own thoughts to the quote. Through the fact how nodes work in Logseq I can write tags behind the nodes and link to the book (for e.g. #Quote #Bookname). This makes it possible to query for all quotes or specific quotes from specific books, topics or whatever.
In Obsidian this was my primary struggle: Not being fluid enough so I had to create a separate page with a quote and my opionion, had to keep a basic structure and had to find a name for that page (one of my biggest struggles) and so on.

Hey, I installed the latest build (15) and tried to login to my account on feddit.de. But somehow it always shows that my credentials aren't valid...which isn't the case because I'm using a password manager and double checked by logging in to the browser.
