I remember distinctly setting up the cloud backups of my main server's USB with Unraid connect. It seems that my USB drive has gone sideways and will not boot. I went to my Unraid Connect dashboard and USB backups is now disabled for my main server. I did not disable it so I don't know what happened. In addition, when I choose "Flash Backup" near the bottom of the Left menu on Unraid connect, main server is not listed and has no backups. What do I do now?

re-read and needed clarity

Nevermind.

• I pulled the USB drive out of the server,
• plugged it into my Windows laptop and could see the files on the USB.
• I quickly copied the entire contents of the USB drive just as a precaution.
• Then I noticed the "make bootable" bat file and thought "What the heck, let's try it." so I ran the bat file as an administrator
• Plugged the USB back into the server

and the server booted!

 

The first thing I did was enable flash backup under Management Access.

 

So, do you think I should replace that USB drive?
