September 27, 20187 yr Needing Help & Advise: Dead USB Boot Drive (Got Replacement Key) Recently my USB drive that had Unraid on it died. The backup was on my unraid server. I was unable to recover the data on the failed usb drive so I bought a new one and installed unraid. I then went through the process of getting a replacement key. I have since booted my server with the new usb drive but now I am unsure how to get all my configuration back to the way it was. I know what order my parity and data drives were in. But my question is there a way to find the old usb backup thats on my data drives and if so can it be restored so that my unraid configuration goes back to the way it was before I had the issues? Really need some help on this one.

Yes, but the way to do it safely would be by mounting read-only one disk at a time then browse for the backup, when found copy the config folder to your flash drive replacing the one there.
