This week since Sunday evening I have been recovering my web site step by step and one of my NAS systems as well. This is why I have redundancy of systems and cloned systems. Still I really didn’t have my backups running the way I wanted or I would have been up right away.
I moved a few systems over each evening to my other NAS and made backups of databases and restored and copied files and made snapshots at every step so I would not have to start over. I was actually running my website on the cloned system so I revived the original system restored the MySQL backups from about a week ago and most everything was back. I still have a few plugins to install for the website and make a few tweaks. The music server being separate was up the whole time so music was still streaming.
As far as repairing the NAS the boot flash drive became corrupted. As long as I didn’t reboot it should have been fine and was since most of the executables were in memory at that point. I saved the configuration to another system, moved the virtual systems over to storage on my other NAS and reinstalled to another flash drive. I uploaded the saved configuration and everything looks great!
