RebelLion1519 Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 Hello, I rebuilt my server on a new motherboard. Previously was an AMD AM4 board, now on an Intel LGA1700 board. I saved a backup of my USB, and re-imaged the USB with my /config folder copied from the backup. Just booted the new build for the first time, and at tower.local I'm being asked to create a new password, when I expected it to have my old password and need me to login back in. Before I continue, wanted to confirm if my previous configuration is gone. I still have the backup .zip, it is likely that I did something wrong creating the USB. If my config is lost, that's really not the end of the world.....but is my data potentially lost as well? What should I do to be sure my data's backed up before I proceed? Thanks!

Vr2Io Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 (edited) No data lost. But why don't restore all from zip file, instead config folder only. If USB have change, it should ask to confirm licence migrate to new USB. Edited August 12, 2023 by Vr2Io Quote Link to comment

If USB have change, it should ask to confirm licence migrate to new USB. Same USB, backup is of 6.11, wanted to set to 6.12, hence only the /config folder. The original plan was only to remake the USB with 6.12. Then other factors beyond UNRAID led to building a new server (other hardware is now being used elsewhere). Quote Link to comment
Vr2Io Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 Suggest restore all from zip/backup file to try any different. Quote Link to comment

Not sure why you are being prompted but this section of the online documentation should help. 8 hours ago, RebelLion1519 said: Before I continue, wanted to confirm if my previous configuration is gone No reason any of the other bits of the configuration should be lost.

I assume I assign disks again, then start the array and am off to the races? I've since boot with a Pop!_OS live USB to confirm that the drives still have my files on them, I'd hate to accidentally erase them at this point. Quote Link to comment

Should not need to do this. Once you get in I would expect everything to come back as it was before. Quote Link to comment

Well, my docker apps were gone. Plugins, shares, and data were all intact. So now just re-installing docker stuff. Quote Link to comment
