Where is Automated Flash Backup on Unraid 7.3.0?

Featured Replies

  • Community Expert

I want to set up automated flash backup for my Unraid server. The (docs)[Automated flash backup | Unraid Docs] say it's at

Settings → Management Access → Unraid API.

But when I go to Settings -> Management Access, the tabs are:

  • Management Access

  • Unraid API Status

  • Unraid API Settings

  • API Keys

And nowhere in any of the Unraid API tabs does it mention flash backup.

So - where did it go?

You need to install the Connect plugin for that.

What plugin is this?

I installed unraid Connect but there is no "Unraid-API"...

With the plugin installed, it's in the API settings Tab

In my case, it looks completely different...

Are you signed into unraid connect?

I don't see the Connect icon, try this, open a terminal window and copy/paste

unraid-api plugins install unraid-api-plugin-connect

Then refresh the GUI and see if the icon shows

zfs master plugin is known to cause issues with the hamburger menu/unraid connect icon. (this was supposed to have been fixed though)

Never mind... it doesnt work...

I installed the Connect plugin, and can see the updated icon. When I click on 'register server', I get redirected to unraid.net (good), where I click 'Register Server' again, which then sends me back to my server page & brings up a 'Performing Actions' dialog showing 'signing in <username>' for a minute or two, and then fails with 'Something went wrong. Sign in failed.'

Which is weird, because I can sign into unraid.net just fine.

Try this, type:

unraid-api stop

unraid-api restart

Then try again to register from the dropdown

Updating to Unraid 7.3.1 (and making sure the Unraid API was running) seems to have fixed the issue.
