July 6, 20232 yr Today I wanted to update my plugins and right after that I got the message that my USB drive is corrupt and the GUI was broken. I shut down the server and tried to reboot. Now it hangs with failure messages. What can I do? Thank you.
July 6, 20232 yr Community Expert Start by removing any packages on the /extras folder if any exists.
July 6, 20232 yr Author Finally the server booted after a long time. Now I got the message that the licence file does not match the USB drive. Something is really strange there.. Edited July 6, 20232 yr by Civic1201

July 6, 20232 yr Author Yes same error in "Registration". Diag attached. edit: Just received this warning email from server: tower-diagnostics-20230706-1914.zip Edited July 6, 20232 yr by Civic1201

July 6, 20232 yr Author So move the USB drive to my computer and copy the /config folder. This is easy. Recreating the flash drive? Do you mean that I have to use the "Flash Backup" and the flash tool from unraid?

July 6, 20232 yr Author Should I use the last backup from "Unraid connect" or create a backup from the stick? Or do I have to use the USB tool and flash an new image 6.12.2 to the same stick and restore the /config folder? This is not clear for me, sorry...
July 6, 20232 yr Community Expert Initially I would use the current /config folder, as long as it's readable.
July 6, 20232 yr Author OK, should I try the same stick? I will download a copy of the backup from unraid connect + create a backup from the running server.
July 6, 20232 yr Community Expert Yes, as mentioned first try with the same flash drive, if issues continue after recreating replace it.
July 6, 20232 yr Author Ok USB drive is plugged into my PC and I can open the /config folder. But when I try to copy it nothing happens Edited July 6, 20232 yr by Civic1201
July 7, 20232 yr Author Solution Problem solved USB drive was not readable anymore so I used the backup from UnraidConnect and flashed it to the same drive -> server is running again! Another drive is on the way if the old one has problems again. So guys never forget you backups
