Recover USB backup from Array


Recommended Posts

Yes I feel stupid to be in this situation, but here I am.   I will say I have a much better understanding of how critical the USB is to the Unraid health.

 

That being said, I cannot locate a backup of my original USB, however I am sure there is one on the server as I was following one of SpaceInvaders videos on setting up cloudberry.

 

Is there a way to mount the drive(s) from the new Unraid bootable USB and locate the backup?  I dont want to corrupt the array. 

 

I know the parity disk and the 3 largest disks, however I dont know the order or the cache drives (4) and the other drives (4).

 

Looking for the easiest way to recover without loosing data.

Set up all the drives present as data drives and start the array.   One will come up as unmointable  stop the array and unassiģn that one.   Restart the array and you'll have access to all your shares and can copy the backup.   Shutdown and restore the backup onto the flash
