Thanks for your replies guys! I'll make a back-up to a thumbdrive Thanks for the reassurance!

1. You buy a new one.

2. Unfortunately, not like you remember in FreeNas. If you have omv-extras installed on omv 4, you can click on omv-extras and then kernel.. and there is a way to boot Clonezilla. You can then clone your OS drive to another drive. This is the only supported way to back up your OS drive.

3. If you want to run OMV on a raid 1 (I can't really imagine why, that seems silly)... You would likely need to do a Debian 9 net install and set up the raid 1 for your OS drives and set up the raid 1 during install.. complete the installation process and don't install any GUI's, etc... then install OMV 4 on top of Debian 9. I've never done it, but that should do what you want. Substitute Debian 10 if you're planning to install the soon to release OMV 5 (although it's technically still beta).

There are instructions in the Guides forum to install OMV on top of Debian.

Thanks for your reply!

Fair enough but the underlying question was to find out what I'll actually lose. Can I mount my arrays on a completely new/seperate installation? My settings in OMV aren't that specific so setting up monitoring etc won't be much hassle anyway if I have to reinstall OMV from scratch.

Just having 1 disk for the OS does leave me with an extra free SATA port for my array

Hello,

I've just installed OMV and I'm having a lot of fun with it, I do however miss a lot of documentation. Where FreeNAS is very clear on the installation do's and dont's I can't seem to find those on OMV. Questions that come to mind are:

- What happens when I lose my OMV installation drive?
- How can I back-up my OMV installation drive?
- Will there be an easy way to run my OMV installation drive in RAID1?

Thanks!
