What I was doing was following official upgrade instructions from here:

Upgrade to OMV 2.x

This thread should definitely be updated with safer instructions..

I planned to do fresh backup before upgrade (after update to latest 1.x, but things went wrong on that step).

I get:

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:


 openmediavault : Depends: php5-pam but it is not going to be installed
                  Depends: proftpd-mod-vroot but it is not going to be installed
                  Depends: php5-proctitle but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

To note, this is the first time I ran mov-update, normally I was updating through web console or with apt-get upgrade.

Did you mean /etc/openmediavault/config.xml ? Yes, it's still there. Disks are also normaly mounted, samba is working, etc..

So what should I do to install openmediavault 1.x back and keep my config, shares, users, files on OS partition..

I have an older backup, I think it's crated with backup plugin from extras, but restoring from it would be my last resort.

Same problem, I ran omv-update on 1.x and lost OMV installation!

Any solution to recover/reinstall OMV and keep all my settings?

Can upgrade from 0.5 to Kralizec change/break RAID array in a way that it wouldn't work anymore if I decide to do a restore back to 0.5?

Need it to clone 0.5 to VM for kralizec upgrade testing. Will probably do it with manually Clonezilla.

Would this kind of (manual) restore work?:

1. Install same version of OMV with same kernel (original or from backports)
2. Change uuid, copy files, modify /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules, reboot
