April 16, 20251 yr I'll get right to the point and put commentary after. Two ideas how I envision this feature could work: Basic version: Plug new USB into unraid server Click backup and transfer license in Unraid GUI Select new USB, process runs Shutdown and remove old usb Power up and everything is happy Complete version: Plug new usb into unraid server Click backup or setup backup on schedule in GUI Second GUID is somehow recorded as backup Second USB remains as backup until boot failure on primary USB ?? day grace period to transfer license (or automatic license transfer) Commentary: I believe the basic version could be implemented very easily and would greatly facilitate ease of upgrading failed or too small USB drives. I recognize the 'complete version' would require some reworking in the licensing automation, which would require more work. The 'basic version' would not. Every other drive in the cache or array is capable of redundancy; naturally redundancy should be extended to the boot USB. Edit: I know there are some other topics that have similar ideas. I read through a few but did not find one that had a complete layout. Edited April 16, 20251 yr by Fered
