Hey Support Team,

Hope you all can help. Over the weekend I started the process of swapping out two drives that were throwing errors (3tb hd and 500gd ssd).  I swap out the ssd without moving the data to my array and i've also stated syncing my new 8tb drive hd which its almost done.  Once my array is fully sync can I run ca app backup/restore to get my dockers and container and appdata to get my server back up and running with minimally hassle? Or can I just reinstall the faulty ssd (which still works) and then properly move the data to the array?

 

Sidenote: I have a cache pool (500gb and 250gb ssd).  Not sure of that changes things

 

I do have a ca app backup from 4/2/2021.

 

Help please because I would hate to rebuild the sever settings

Small adjustment

Cache is empty, you need to restore data from backups.

Soooooooo I dont think I have a good backup either

 

 I just tried the backup and there is nothing on the backup 

 

Can I throw that faulty ssd back into the sever? If so what steps do I need to take 

 

Sidenote: my array is fully synced up with the new 8tb drive and server is back to normal (other then not having my appdata or dockers)

Depends on how it was configured, it won't hurt to try, see if it mounts on it's own.

No dice when I try to add the faulty ssd to the server. I get a warning that if I turn on the array the data on the ssd will be wiped out. So I didnt not turn on the array and put the good 500gb back in.  

 

Can I load the faulty ssd as a seperate disk drive somehow in unraid to be able to extract the data manually?

You can either create a new pool and add that SSD alone or reset the current cache and assign it there also alone, to reset cache:

 

Stop the array, if Docker/VM services are using the cache pool disable them, unassign all cache devices, start array to make Unraid "forget" current cache config, stop array, reassign old cache device (there can't be an "All existing data on this device will be OVERWRITTEN when array is Started" warning for any cache device), re-enable Docker/VMs if needed, start array.
