Boot USB-Stick destroyed

[orange3001]

I am currently using Unraid version 6.9.2 and accidentally kicked the boot USB stick while my server was running. Can I create a new stick from the running unraid? Unfortunately I do not have a backup copy. Thanks for your help

Unfortunately not      I assume you have not installed the My Servers plugin and let it make a backup?

 

you can follow the steps shown here to at least get your drive assignments back with your data intact.  This will also get your User Shares back, but with default settings,  Unfortunately any other setup will need redoing.

After this initial panic phase has passed, have a good look at that flash drive.  If only the plastic case is destroyed and the chip is still attached to the plug, you might be able to get the files off of the remnants.

I think it is only the metal thing that goes into the PC that is broken off. So maybe someone with good solder skills should be able to repair it. I am gonna ask a friend for help. Thanks!

This is an excellent idea!

 

Here is an alternative that is already in the US if desired: https://www.amazon.com/StarTech-Motherboard-4-Pin-Header-USBMBADAPT/dp/B000IV6S9S/
