September 17, 20241 yr Hello, I want to replace my flash drive. I've gone ahead and downloaded the backup from Main > Flash > Flash Backup. I do also have cloud backup enabled. It downloaded this file handnas-v7.0.0-beta.2-flash-backup-xxxxxxxx-xxxx.zip Every forum post, comment, and official docs just say to use the USB Creator Tool. However, they don't really clarify exactly what you should be looking for or what to do with the tool. All it does is write the flash drive with a new copy of Unraid with a version of your choosing. So the drive is basically stock. Will I be restoring from the backup when I boot into it? Any clarification would be appreciated. Thanks in advance

After your response, I actually realized the usb tool has a "Custom Image" option. I selected the backup zip file I had downloaded using that option and flashed it. It worked flawlessly.
