December 12, 2025Dec 12 Community Expert I want to manually backup the flash drive (for many reasons). Can I do that while the system is running or is there something i should be aware of like locked files etc?What exactly does the native "flash backup" button do when it backs up the flash drive? Is it just a simple copy operation followed by compression?

For a long time this was the standard way to make a backup of the flash drive before the online option via Unraid Connect existed.
