April 8, 20242 yr Having issues with doing manual flash backups...it just sits on "Please wait... creating Flash backup zip file (this may take several minutes)" indefinately....I let it go 10 minutes+ a few times....the Connect backup seems to be updating fine....so its weird I can't manually do a backup. I see nothing in the syslog either....I've rebooted several times, went to .9 but had to roll back to .8 due to the SMB share issue (which is now fixed in .10, but have not tried it yet)...and still cannot backup manually.
April 8, 20242 yr Community Expert this can be done automatic by going to Main > clicking on the flash drive "flash" /Main/Settings/Flash?name=flash and clicking flash backup. this can take upward to 30 min + especial on older systems and units with a large amount of disks. it can also depend on the read and writes of the flash device you used for unraid. otherwise, I would recommend making a full usb image back up Either Linux dd of the flash driver or software soultion like blana etcher /power ios to make usb backup img.
April 8, 20242 yr Community Expert If you are having problems doing it on the server you can always instead plug the flash drive into a PC/Mac to make a backup as it is in standard FAT32 format. All you need is the contents of the ‘config’ folder as that contains all your settings and the licence key.

I was seeing some weirdness with the flash drive, so I replaced it with a new one, but the problem trying to backup continued. The other weirdness stopped. Edited April 9, 20242 yr by Thunder7ga

Trying to backup before moving to v7 and having the same problem...

No, still happens on this one server. The backup to Connect is working fine, and I get copies downloaded from there though when needed.
November 21, 2025Nov 21 Anyone there find a fix to this issue? I have this problem on one of my server, and find the same error @greyday have.Nov 21 16:45:04 BetaServ nginx: 2025/11/21 16:45:04 [error] 9392#9392: *2309 upstream timed out (110: Connection timed out) while reading response header from upstream, client: 10.11.11.9, server: , request: "POST /webGui/include/Download.php HTTP/2.0", upstream: "fastcgi://unix:/var/run/php-fpm.sock", host: "10.12.12.30", referrer: "https://10.12.12.30/Main/Flash?name=flash"

November 21, 2025Nov 21 @gyto6Thanks. I do manually backup the flash drive trough smb now. But i just had a thought there was found a fix after so long since this thread was made
