Importimage1 Posted March 29, 2023 Share Posted March 29, 2023 Hello. Just recently my flash drive just got corrupted. I thought it was saving my backups to 'My Servers" When I go there it does not give me an option to download a backup. Just gives me the option to download registration key. Is there any way I could recover my flash drive? Any help would be great. Thank you very much Quote Link to comment
Solution JorgeB Posted March 29, 2023 Solution Share Posted March 29, 2023 If you don't have a backup you follow this: 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
Importimage1 Posted March 29, 2023 Author Share Posted March 29, 2023 Just did a new install of the flash drive and i'm not able to see the file "config/disk.cfg" Not sure why Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted March 29, 2023 Share Posted March 29, 2023 It won't exist on a new install, it gets created when you change something. Quote Link to comment
Importimage1 Posted March 29, 2023 Author Share Posted March 29, 2023 I found a really old backup. over a year old. The file does not exist on that one either for some reason. Is there anyway I could use this old backup? I'm trying to find the file, but just not having any luck Quote Link to comment
Importimage1 Posted March 29, 2023 Author Share Posted March 29, 2023 I Think I found the file. Going to try it. Thank you! Quote Link to comment
Importimage1 Posted March 29, 2023 Author Share Posted March 29, 2023 What would I need to create in order for the file to show up? I'm not really able to create anything since I don't have any drives mounted Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted March 29, 2023 Share Posted March 29, 2023 You just need to copy the file back, also note that disk assignments are saved in super.dat, not disks.cfg, and super.dat should be restored with care if the assignments changed. Quote Link to comment
Importimage1 Posted March 29, 2023 Author Share Posted March 29, 2023 Sorry just don't understand. Haven't really done this before. Quote Link to comment
Importimage1 Posted March 29, 2023 Author Share Posted March 29, 2023 Is there a reason why I can't restore from "My Servers" I just thought that It would be doing backups of my flash drive there Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted March 29, 2023 Share Posted March 29, 2023 If the backup is not there it suggests it wasn't enabled, did you check before? If you follow the instructions I posted above you can easily get the array back up. Quote Link to comment
Importimage1 Posted March 29, 2023 Author Share Posted March 29, 2023 Hello. I thought it was enabled, but i'm going to assume this was not unfortunately. My question is how do I copy the file back like you suggested I do? I'm not to familiar with this. I created a new install on a new flash drive. So now i'm just trying to follow the instructions to get the array back up. I'm not able to see "disks.cfg" Since i't a new drive. If you could please help and let me know what steps I need to do in order to "Copy the file back" Quote Link to comment
Importimage1 Posted March 30, 2023 Author Share Posted March 30, 2023 I got it working. Thank you so much! 1 Quote Link to comment
