Hey everyone!

Yesterday my NAS started having random failures so I decided to give it a reboot, and now it doesn't boot anymore. I suspect there's something going on with the USB, because when I plug it on my computer, all the files are there, but its reeeeally slow and unresponsive.

I ordered a new one which should arrive tomorrow, but I'm looking into how to smoothly move my installation to the new one, and I'm testing with some USBs I had laying around here. I downloaded a backup from Unraid's website and used the tool to flash it into the USB selecting the zip, but it seems like it just ignored all of my config, it got the default "Tower" name, and I couldn't access it using the IP that shows on the boot screen. I could ping it just fine, but doing a curl just gave me a connection refused error. I then checked the contents of the USB, and noticed that indeed most of the files on the config folder were not copied out into the new one, not sure why.

I tried manually copying it onto the new USB and tested it out briefly and it seemed to get the configs, the arrays, and the tower is now named as it was before. I could access it using the IP, I just couldn't bring the array up again because of the license (I'll wait to do it on the proper drive to avoid blacklisting this one)

So, the question is, can I safely copy the config folder from my old boot drive to the new one? Are there any other folders I should copy, like drivers, etc? I noticed some warnings about not finding the NVIDIA ones, etc, so I guess it wasn't just the config that wasn't copied. The driver I could probably just install again, I'm just concerned about potentially other missing stuff

Thanks in advance!

Create the new flash drive using the USB tool, then restore only the config folder from the backup zip or the current one.

it worked, thanks a lot! :)
