chris7r Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 (edited) Hey Guys, Sorry if this has already been answered, my searching skills are just not working today. I have made a mess up of my unraid install, it was my first time using the OS and I installed so much stuff on here that it's really cluttered. Thanks to just using it as a testbed to see what works for me and what doesn't. But now I have installed some new hardware and things are just acting weird so I figured probably a good idea to start off with a fresh install and get the stuff I know I use back on and all the rest not to bother with. One quick question. I have stuff like Sonarr and Radarr and I really dont want to lose what I have configured inside of them. Same for things like plex. How easy is it to copy just the config files for those dockers so when I setup a new install of unraid I can have my old settings back in place(im kind of noob at this)? I really dont feel like adding all the series and movies again Thanks Edited November 29, 2020 by chris7r Quote Link to comment
trurl Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 Just remove whatever you don't want, the OS itself is a fresh install at each boot since it's in RAM Quote Link to comment
BlueSialia Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 I'm interested in this as well. I want to use a newer and physically smaller USB for the UnraidOS and start from the default state. It's been a year since I started using Unraid and I feel like I've done many things inefficiently. And I don't trust myself to "just remove whatever you don't want" because I will probably miss something. Quote Link to comment

trurl Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 You can keep your flash drive, which will keep your license instead of having to transfer it to a new flash, and keep your disk assignments (and data) and start over with everything else. Just backup flash, recreate as a new install. Then copy from backup to new install, 1) config/*.key (your license) and 2) config/super.dat (your disk assignments). Quote Link to comment
