I'm happy to report the firmware update from 6.3.5 to 6.10.3 was a success, even my VM's came over ok. Thank you.

One VM is digital license win10, the other is a licensed Windows web server. I’d like to preserve both VMs if possible. Could I back them up and get them off unraid? I made a small effort to back them up but gave up because of the old version I’m at. Are you saying I need to reformat? I am grateful for the help.

Yes I have two VMs.

If I power off the unraid server, unplug the USB flash device, go to a WIndows computer, plug in the USB there, copy everything off the USB to a WIndows folder, is that an OK flash backup? Thank you all for your help.

Thank both of you! I found the USB flash device plugged into a USB port inside the case, on the motherboard. Diagnostics attached (may not be needed now). Since my flash drive is in order, I don't need to mess with it. Moving on to updating the OS... I don't see a "FLASH BACKUP" button - does the array have to be stopped (sorry I'll try in a minute)? BTW, my config isn't too crazy, just two VMs and two plug ins. Can I jump all at once from 6.3.5 to 6.10.2? sbwebserver-diagnostics-20220610-1303.zip

Thank you for your help. Before updating the OS, I'd like to get a flash device in order following this. But apparently my server boots and runs without a USB flash device, since there is no USB dongle plugged in. When I click the View icon under Main, Boot Device, it shows "Index of /boot" which is the local hard drive - is the possible? Can I treat what is under /boot as the current flash device? I.e. copy everything from /boot/config to the same folder on a freshly created USB media using this flash tool (and change BIOS to boot accordingly)? Unfortunately my old unraid version does not a "Flash backup" button, but I could maybe create boot media by zipping up what is under /boot and using the "from zip" option under the flash tool. It seems like too big a jump to update OS and go to a USB flash device both at the same time.

Do you think I have the correct thread for updating from. 6.3.5? Are you saying to skip using FCP and try to manually do what it does? Or skip it altogether and go for it and let the chips fall? Any chance Squid could help me revert to an earlier release of FCP? The Git repository for FCP “show log” has some comments that indicate 6.3.5 era. Is it just package file and the test script or is it more complicated than that?

I'm trying to update from 6.3.5 (with apologies) following this thread which advises installing the Fix Common Problem plug in, however I get the error message below: plugin: installed unRAID version is too low, require at least version 6.7.0 Can anyone provide direction?
