Ziga Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 Hello, I would need some help, since i am really not experienced user. Today i've noticed some weird things at Docker tab . I also realized that at the top right corner was saying missing key (license). I said ok, I'll restart Unraid. Waited for 15 minutes, nothing... I plugged HDMI cable in the pc and it showed BIOS with no USB flash drive option to choose. Unplugged flash drive from the server and plugged in main PC - nothing. it seems that flash drive died? What now? I really dont want to lose my data, dockers and VMs Thanks for your help! BR. Žiga Quote Link to comment

Ziga Posted October 2, 2022 Author Share Posted October 2, 2022 Unfortunately i do not have backup. Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 Array and VMs are not difficult to recover, you might need to re-install the docker containers though. https://wiki.unraid.net/Manual/Changing_The_Flash_Device#What_to_do_if_you_have_no_backup_and_do_not_know_your_disk_assignments: Quote Link to comment
Ziga Posted October 2, 2022 Author Share Posted October 2, 2022 Had lots of docker containers does it help if I know which disk was assisgned as parity? Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 To recover the array yes, docker templates were stored in the flash drive, so without a backup you'll need to reconfigure them. Quote Link to comment
Ziga Posted October 2, 2022 Author Share Posted October 2, 2022 Thanks for the info. I will probably give tomorrow flash driver to a local computer service. They rescue dead flash drives. I hope they resurrect it. If they fail, i will have to start from the begining. Quote Link to comment
Ziga Posted October 4, 2022 Author Share Posted October 4, 2022 It seems that they have auccessfully ressurected my usb flash drive. It is disassembled, but can plug it in my pc/server. Should I insert it back in the server (after i copy everything from it on my pc) and create a backup via unraids gui? Or only plug it in my pc and transfer everything whats on flash drive and zip it as backup? Quote Link to comment

Do this first, you just need to backup the complete /config folder, everything important is inside that. Quote Link to comment
Ziga Posted October 5, 2022 Author Share Posted October 5, 2022 (edited) I've got flash drive back. Plugged it PC and copied everything. it failed at folder SSL. After I checked it, some wierd names are in it. I can't copy any of it. What to do? The rest copied fine it seems. If this USB now still works ( I dont know about this SSL ), can I put this usb flash drive back in the Unraid and use it until it dies or ? Edited October 5, 2022 by Ziga Quote Link to comment
trurl Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 What does the rest of config look like? Quote Link to comment

I copied then again from flash drive to PC folder everything ,except config - without any problems and then config file without ssl file - without any problems. It seems that it only has a problem transfering these files/folders from SSL folder. Quote Link to comment
trurl Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 Since you have basic.key you don't need trial.key Don't know if the rest of config will be OK or not without trying it. I wouldn't attempt to reuse that same flash drive though. Create a new install on a new flash drive, copy the config folder from your backup (without that trial.key), try to boot it up.

trurl Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 Shouldn't matter which version you download Quote Link to comment
Ziga Posted October 5, 2022 Author Share Posted October 5, 2022 Ok. 1 more question. Since I created backup manually and manuals say choose backup .zip file. Should I just zip everything i downloaded from that flash drive? Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 Just restore the config folder to the flash drive, overwrite any existing files. Quote Link to comment

Ziga Posted October 5, 2022 Author Share Posted October 5, 2022 Flashed fresh unraid 6.9.2 and copied old config folder over fresh one. Thisnis what it shows on boot Quote Link to comment

Squid Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 So the error is from a plugin. OTOH network stats since it didn't show back up. Probably harmless and can be ignored though. Quote Link to comment
Ziga Posted October 5, 2022 Author Share Posted October 5, 2022 Should i remove it then? Should I now start array? I mean after I re-insert license key. Quote Link to comment
