Help - USB dead - app/usb backups are on encrypted drive

My USB is dead, and my USB backup, app backup is all on encrypted drive.

 

What are steps to get back up and running?

 

My idea is to create a new bootable USB, start UNRAID, then de-crypt the drives, then restore USB configuration from backup.

Is that the right sequence?

 

Also how do I find out the order of my drives. I only have parity drive (10TB) and 2 discs (4TB and 2TB). So I KNOW which is parity drive.

How do I find out sequence of other drives?

For a one parity drive array, the allocation of data drives is not important.

It is crucial for two parity drives setup however.

 

Your strategy for recovery looks good to me, but I do not know the specifics of encrypted drives as I do not use them.

It seems that you are good to proceed as you know which drive is parity.

This process works.
