Hi there, ive been testing out unRAID and was about 10days away from my trial expiring. I ran into an issue where my server had a totally blank UI and i had to do a hard reset. When trying to bring it back up im met with a 'No configuration file found' error and it refuses to boot. 

 

I have checked the USB in Windows and done a check disk scan which was fine. When i review the files on the USB compared to a newly created one i have only around 20MB of files not the 200+MB that is found when an unRAID usb is made.

 

Obviously with just testing it, a couple of VMs, plex and a minecraft server, i hadnt yet set up something like a rclone for the USB files.

 

Strange though why my config files etc are missing from the USB. 

 

Any help would be glorious or am i looking likely to have to restart my server from scratch? if so 2nd question, can i use the same disks in the same config without having to move any data off them first?

Looks like a flash problem, if you use another flash drive you'll need to reassign the disks (because of being a trial key), but you can keep all the data/existing config.

Yup kind of bit the bullet and tried this in the hope it was how it worked. Happy to say once i got the dockers rebuilt the server is back up and running as it should be.

 

Crisis over haha

You can download a zipped copy of flash at Main - Boot Device - Flash - Flash Backup

Also figured that out too haha. Is there a way to automate this?

CA Backup plugin will let you make backups of appdata, libvirt, and flash
