Corrupt flash drive

[stevejjd]

Hi all, hope you are well.
 

Everything was working well with my unraid NAS until this morning when I saw the following error message.

" Your flash drive is corrupted or offline. Post your diagnostics in the forum for help. I would really appreciate any help looking at the attached diagnostics.

[update]
- I removed the USB drive from the NAS.

- I checked to see that the USB drive was functional by plugging it into my mac
- I made a copy of the config folder as a backup
- I plugged the usb drive back into the USB 2.0 port on the NAS

- I shutdown the server from the web ui
- I powered up the server using the power button on the PC
- The PC boot but then went to a black screen
- I reset the computer and it booted up into unraid
- I saw some text fly past and saw some words like "cleaning dirty part", or something like that
- I opened a web browser on my mac and logged into the server
- I got a shock because nothing was there, but it turns out there was some error like "not connected to API", I clicked something and everything, like the drives and stuff came back as normal.

I followed the help documentation to fix it and also FYI, the data is still there on the drives.

- How can I create a backup of the config file every week or so?

I can think of a number of options for backup:

• Use the My Servers plugin to create a web based backup
• Use the Appdata backup plugin to create a backup at the interval you specify
• Use the User Scripts plugin to run a simple script you write to perform the backup at whatever frequency you desire.
