Unfortunately no I didn't take a copy of the diagnostics, lessons learnt there I think, If I'm ever doing anything major with unraid in the future then I will take copies of the diagnostics at various points.
I've been trying the recovery options you suggested, these commands do mean much to me so I'll paste in the commands and responses. I tried with the array both started and not (not sure if this makes a difference), also not sure if I needed to put the 1 at the end as the drive is just labelled sdd, so I tried both.
root@Cookie:~# mount -o usebackuproot,ro /dev/sdd1 /x
mount: /x: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdd1, missing codepage or helper program, or other error.
root@Cookie:~# mount -o usebackuproot,ro /dev/sdd /x
mount: /x: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdd, missing codepage or helper program, or other error.
root@Cookie:~# mount -o degraded,usebackuproot,ro /dev/sdd1 /x
mount: /x: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdd1, missing codepage or helper program, or other error.
Before I move onto the next stage, I just wanted to check I'd done everything right (which I'm not confident!)
Side note, referencing the guide, for idiots like my it may be worth using something other than X as I was originally changing the "/x" instead of the "/sdX1", it's obvious now looking back, but at the time I missed it.
Thanks again,
