February 21, 20197 yr Hey unfortunately, my server broke down the other day and today I just discovered that I don't have a backup of my arrays data for the last 6 months and no backup of my cahce drive. I currently only have 2 HDD and 1 ssd (cache) the array is not using parity. If my HDD and ssd is still working could I then install them in another pc and use the UNRAID USB to boot from and continue on that machine like nothing happened or is the CPU, mobo coded into the boot files on the usb that makes the not able to start? If that is possible I would then easily be able to do a backup.
February 21, 20197 yr Most likely you can just move all the drives, USB and data / cache, to a new tower and start the array just fine. The only issues could be if the new system doesn't have a compatible network card or drive controller. Chances are it will work, and you won't mess up your data just by booting the USB and connecting to the box to see.
