April 24, 20242 yr Greetings, I'm currently seeking to reorganize my two unraid servers for better efficiency and logical structure. However, it's crucial for me to retain the existing configurations (including Docker, VMs, etc.) and have a fallback option if the new setup doesn't meet expectations or if issues arise. I have three questions: Would backing up the flash drive suffice to restore my current setup if needed? If not, what alternative method would be recommended? What's the optimal approach for resetting an unraid server to begin anew, allowing me to build the servers according to my plan?

April 25, 20242 yr Author Thanks, so I do have appdata backup that backups my dockers and flash. VM's not an issue only have one and planning to scrap. I imagine If I need to reset the unraid as if new, I need to format the flash drive ?

Replacing that folder with default files and adding your specific key file that belongs with that GUID will reset everything to new.
