May 20, 20242 yr Hey so i'm planning to refresh my Unraid server and from my research the best way to go about doing that is to just install a trial on my current usb stick and then copy my licence over, is that the best way? I currently have around 17tb of data that i DO NOT wanna loose, i just want to start fresh as the server seems to be very slow lately and id like to re do my docker apps and settings etc. Ive had this server on and of for the last few years with different configs which probably doesn't help. Server spec 12600k, 32gb ddr4, rtx 2060s when needed, 1tb nvme ssd cache, 3x 4tb iron wolf, 1x3tb wd red, 1x 2tb Seagate and a 4tb iron wolf pro parity. Boot drive is a Samsung bar plus 64gb recommended by Spaceinvader. Question 1 do i just install a trial on the same USB stick and my licence will copy over? Question 2 all drives plus cache are encrypted does that matter?, i should also take note of what drives are in which slot right? Question 3 I've already had my licence transferred a few times this year as I've had failed USB sticks etc etc, does that matter since ill reinstall on the same USB? Appreciate all the help, i've already lost data this year as i messed up so i don't wanna repeat that and you experts might see something i don't see. Thanks again! zeus-diagnostics-20240520-1512.zip Edited May 20, 20242 yr by wizkid941
May 20, 20242 yr Community Expert You can use the Dynamix Factory Reset plugin, it can optionally keep the array assignments, everything else config related will be deleted.
May 20, 20242 yr Author Oh ill definitely have a look at that, will it clear my docker img etc as well?. will i loose any data etc? If i use that plugin does it matter that the drives are encrypted? Edited May 20, 20242 yr by wizkid941

May 20, 20242 yr Author Okay thank you, i would like to delete the docker img actually because its currently at 75gb, just need to figure out how to start the docker from scratch
