OK so the DDNS is working properly. Since the CHECK button fails, there must be an issue with your port forward.
I've looked at your screenshots and they look fine to me, yet it isn't working. Maybe reboot your router?
The new router did it! I am good to go now!

You must have clicked on the wrong place. If you click on the title of the thread inside that "link" box, you just get the whole thread. If you click on the little arrow at upper right, you get the specific post I was pointing you to.
Yup that was it, i went to the main index and clicked on replace single drive part of a cached pool

Parity does not contain any of your data. Parity (whatever system it is used in) is just an extra bit that allows a missing bit to be calculated from all the other bits. Parity plus all other disks allow the data for a missing disk to be calculated. And the calculation is very simple, like 0+1=1
https://wiki.unraid.net/Manual/Overview#Parity-Protected_Array
I see, so this will come up sooner rather then later though, what WOULD the process be then to unload data from an old drive to a new drive, assuming i cannot add the other one to the machine due to no more space, i do have one of those USB-sata adapters that i have used in the past but that was on windows.

Do you mean you intend to have 2 pools, one with 256GB and one with 1TB? That is what I would recommend since these are different sized disks, then you could have the 256GB for dockers/VMs and the 1TB for caching. There would be no redundancy for either pool like this, but cached data will be moved to the parity array anyway, and you can do backups for the docker/VM stuff.
I was thinking about just replace one for the other, but i could also keep both for sure, how would this go? How do i add the second drive as a cache and then...... how to i set what goes where?

Very new still and learning as much as i can, i am still even on an UNraid trial but at this point i am locked in.
That being said at the time of setup i did not have a parity drive, I am adding that today, what does that process look like? I had help setting all this up but its time to start doing on my own. After i physically put the drive in the server and boot up what are my next steps?
Informational: Can someone explain how parity works because i still do not get it, i have 4 drives total, 3 of them are each 4TB and 1 is 10TB so my new parity drive is a 10TB as it needs to be as large as my largest or bigger. How does this one drive cover failures on all 4? My brain cant wrap around this. When upgrading drives (lets say i am going to replace a 4TB with a 10TB) i was told i would use the parity drive to offload a 4TB drive, remove, add bigger drive and then reload from parity. How does this process work? It must be manual no? How could i otherwise garuntee the data from the drive i am removing is on the parity? Sorry for these juvenile questions.
Cache drive: at the time of setup i also only had a 256GB NVME drive, its still only 50% full but regardless i will adding a 1TB NVME SSD later today along with the new parity drive. I will leave the current cache drive in place, and add this as well, how do i move everything from the old drive to this drive and make it my cache drive?
I think that is all for now, thanks kindly for the time.

Thank you for all the help on this, the reboot did not do it but i do however still think issue is with my router. There is a good news though, it was enough to get me to stop paying my ISP to rent this basic router from them and to get my own more professional grade router so once that comes in and i set it up i will report back and let you know if that solves the issue.

no you are fine
sorry for the basic question, but you replaced "REMOVED" with your actual hash right? i.e. if `host www.yourhash.unraid.net` does not resolve then that is a problem on our end that we need to resolve before your remote access will work.
Correct i replaced it with the actual host but the command failed

OK one more, type:
host www.REMOVED.unraid.netdoes that resolve to your expected WAN IP?
I feel like i am quickly becoming a pain in the ass but that command responds with host command not found

Either the port forward is not setup correctly, or there is possibly an issue with DDNS.
At a web terminal type:
php /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/dynamix/include/UpdateDNS.php -vLet me know what it says. You can blank out your hash and external ip before sharing.
Here you are

Have you forwarded this port in your router? If this is showing an error the remote access link isn't going to work.
Yes indeed i posted screenshots in my first post, but maybe i somehow goofed? IF your able to take a quick look maybe you will spot my mistake but i really do not think so.

Yes sir those are the instructions.
1 - It says its unreachable from outside my network. https://tinyurl.com/yykz88u5 you will see in the screenshot the info it wants me to setup is exaclty what i have setup according to my previous screenhosts.
2 - ran it, but it didnt help in my unraid under the drop down it says response not successful, receive status code 500, actually scratch that, it did help it made it so it says online in my dahsboard now https://tinyurl.com/y4oszln4 however clicking on remote access still gives me "this page cannot be accessed"
3 - it says remote access which only adds to my confusion
-
I am not sure where to go from here and i know its still in beta and i also know you get alot of these posts so i hate to pile on but its frustrating when i followed the steps to the letter and i know its setup correctly.
I have port 13856 as suggested forwarding to 3443 again as suggested. Doing this did change the wording from local to remote in my servers but it still says offline and the hostname URL only works locally not remotely.
So in UNraid i set https to 3443 and wan to 13856
Using 6.9 so TLS is set to auto.
What am i missing?
Closest thing to an image backup, restore server as is/was

Hello,
coming from windows having my plex, radarr, sonarr etc running on windows i would just make images (incremental) of the system so in case of disaster i could restore the machine as it was (excluding the media itself)
How can i achieve this with UNRAID? If there was a disaster how could i restore my server to how it was quickly?
Right now i am backing up the flash drive with "My Servers" plugin. I also see Appdata Backup/Restore v2 come up a lot. So is this the plugin i should use to backup all my configs, shares, settings, paths as well as my docker images and settings? I hope i am making sense but i think you probably understand what i am trying to achieve, just looking to find out how to do it.
