How to download usb backup with powered-down server

[SP67]

Hi, 

 

I'd like to download the USB backup to flash a new USB drive (the old one seems to have died). I have searched the manuals, but it seems that I need to access the myserver web-page from the unraid's server interface, which is not available as the server is powered down. 

 

Is it possible?

 

Thanks

You can backup the flash drive by plugging it into your PC. You only need the config folder from your backup to get your configuration back on a new install.

If you mean the backup from My Servers, the backup is available just here on the forums.

 

 

 

Wait a few seconds for the file to be generated with the standards files and your specific information and the download starts.

Thanks, both options helped. Very much appreciated.

Please see the docs for instructions on how to restore a backup:

There are a few additional steps once you've downloaded the zip

Thank you for your attention. Unfortunately this guidance you sent does not work for me. I tried backing up from an earlier verison, but the flash drive errors. Please see attached pics.

Your server is not signed in to Unraid.net, so it is not using the My Servers Flash Backup.

 

You'll want to review the options here:
