pingmanping Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 (edited) Hi, I messed up my Unraid 6.5.3 box by upgrading it to the latest stable. I managed to download the flashdrive backup, but need to restore it. I'm on Ubuntu and I believe to restore I would need the 6.5.3 zip. I could not find the 6.5.3 download link. Thanks EDIT: I tried to unzip the backup and tried to use the make_bootable_linux that it has. The screenshot attached is what I am getting after issuing the sudo bash.

JorgeB Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 If you have a flash drive backup just copy all bz* files overwriting existing ones, not need to run make_bootable again. Quote Link to comment

I tried that at first, but it didn't boot. I formatted the drive in fat32 with label UNRAID and copied the contents of the backup zip to the flashdrive, it is still not booting. I tried to execute the make_bootable_linux and got the screenshot above. Quote Link to comment

JorgeB Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 Recreate the flash drive and restore the config folder, I'm not familiar with the linux make_bootable, if you can get your hands on a Win10 PC you can use the USB tool which makes it easier. Quote Link to comment
