I struggle a lot with sporadic unresponsive GUI, but working SSH connections as well as unresponsive GUI and SSH terminal. As I start a new topic with debugging information I would like to prepare a fresh build using my licensed USB key. Debugging information is actually captured but need to wait for the next unresponsive session...

 

Is there a procedure to save important files/settings/license items to be prepared for a fresh build?

 

I assume to be saved:

Disk layout (Informational to rebuild using the GUI)

License File (copied from /boot/config as file) --> the pro.key file is not visible on the USB key when mounted /flash... Do I miss something?

Docker Config (Informational to rebuild using the GUI)

KVM XML with manual edits (as Text file for copy and paste)

 

I would start as small and skimmed down as possible to avoid conflicts and perform debugging analysis while enabling apps/plugins, dockers, VM step by step.

 

Initial start would be unRAID + Plex Docker only

 

Searching the forum was not answering my question about the backup steps...

 

Thanks a lot.

 

This section of the Upgrading Wiki tells you what to keep:

https://wiki.lime-technology.com/Upgrading_to_UnRAID_v6#Files_on_flash_drive

The instructions for upgrade from ver 5 to ver 6 have the basic steps on what you have to do.  Here is a link to the initial set of instructions:

And to the WIKI which developed out of it which addresses virtually every issue that folks ran into.

If you are not upgrading (and apparently, you are not), you should probably have this section of the WIKI which will describe the purpose of each  file and directory/folder that is on your current flash drive:

If after looking over all of this information including the link which @trurl has posted, you still have questions post back with them.
