Hi all,

I was having issues getting Unraid to boot. Unknowingly, I used Unraid USB Creator without backing up my USB.

Now all my previous VMs, Docker images, everything custom, is gone. I have nothing from my previous configuration. I am very new to this sort of work. Is it possible to get to my virtual Docker directory and port those images on to a different flash drive, save them, and reimport? The idea was for Unraid to become my new cloud storage solution and to have redundant data drives so I could prevent against data loss. What do I do now? All my drives are unassigned. I can't access them.

I wish in the Unraid USB Creator there was a giant blaring warning message to back up your USB config.

Clarification

VM configuration is not stored on the flash drive, and for the dockers, only the templates are, start by posting the current diagnostics.

You can use the steps described here to get your drives assigned again so they are accessible. If you are not sure about the process ask questions.

As was mentioned VM configurations are not stored on the flash drive and for docker containers only the templates that were used to configure them. We can work on getting those operational again once you have correct access to all your drives restored. We would want you to post diagnostics at that point so we can see the current state of things.
