March 14, 201610 yr Hi guys, I a happy owner of unraid from 2 years ago. I played a lot with my server and install things that i shouldn't installed. this cause that now I see some errors related to plugins and VM-KVM web ui doesn't work i can't create VM. So I want to reinstall unraid but I don't want to lose data and shares. all the apps are dockerized so it's not a big deal to "reinstall the dockers" I don't care if I need to regenerate parity data, 1 month ago last parity check. Guys how I should do it? -I don't want lose data -I don't want lose shares -I don't want lose unraid Licence Thanks!
March 14, 201610 yr Community Expert Simplest thing is just to copy your .key file and do a clean install, after getting screenshots of any settings you want to use again. The only thing likely to cause any loss of data is if you assign one of your data disks to the parity slot.

If you copy config/share.cfg and the config/shares folder, you'll keep all your share settings. If you copy config/ident.cfg and config/network.cfg, you'll keep your network settings.
November 19, 20169 yr It is a pretty old thread but can i just -Screenshot the the main tab in unraid and then set the same disks (serial number) for parity and disks. -Use the key link to download the license file again. EDIT: It worked! I just reinstalled it, selected the same disks for parity and disks (make sure that "parity is already valid" is activated), used the key file link to install the license again and everything works! It probably has nothing to do with reinstalling it but my SSH didn't work anymore. This fix worked: https://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=44291.msg422788#msg422788
