Hello, @Mike_Tufts

Thank you for contacting Roon Support. I have reviewed the diagnostic data and can see that the last backup attempt was successful.

Please try to reproduce the issue again and provide us with the exact time when it occurs.

The snippet you provided appears to not be related to my data. I don’t own any Robert cray and my back up was performed 02/24 not 02/20. Here are screenshots from attempts on 02/25 10:17 am cst

• Fresh ROCK install on Beelink SER3

• Created new backup 02/24 via Google Drive from old Windows Roon.

• Downloaded RoonBackups folder from Drive (zipped → unzipped once).

• Copied full RoonBackups (with timestamped subfolders + roon_backup_root file) to root of exFAT USB.

• Plugged USB into Beelink, browsed via Roon app: Settings > Backups > Find Backups > Browse > selected RoonBackups parent folder.

• Backup detects (lists dates), but restore fails every time at ~8% progress—no detailed error, just “Restore failed” or stalls.

Hello, the problem persists.

What does it take to get support around here? I’m a paying customer just like everyone else. Is there another communication channel I should try?

Hello @Mike_Tufts

Please accept my sincere apologies for the delay in response. We have been experiencing a significant surge in support requests over the last 48 hours due to a global infrastructure outage with Cloudflare, which has put our team behind schedule.

I attempted to pull diagnostics from your Core remotely to see why that 8% failure is happening, but unfortunately, the reports haven’t reached our servers.

To move forward, we need to look at the logs manually. Please use the directions found here to package your logs and send them over to our File Uploader.

A quick tip based on your description: Since you mentioned downloading the backup from Google Drive and unzipping it, it is possible that some hidden metadata files or folder structures were altered during the zip/unzip process on Windows. As a test, if you still have the original Windows Roon installation available, try copying the RoonBackups folder directly to the USB drive without zipping it first, and then try the restore again.

Once you have uploaded the logs, please let me know here so I can alert our technicians to review them .

Hello,

Sorry to hear about the Cloudflare issues.

I have uploaded my Roon data set as instructed.

Thank You

Hello @Mike_Tufts

Sorry for the inconvenience seems the files didn’t come to our uploader. Would you kindly use this link instead

https://workdrive.zohoexternal.com/collection/nocvrfc5b2ddab55140af8640f1d7ce13291e/external

Ok, I have reuploaded with the link provided.

Hey @Mike_Tufts,

My apologies here, it looks like you’ve sent over Roon logs, rather than Roon Server logs, could you give it another go?

If you could reboot your devices, attempt another restore, capture the timestamp of failure, then send over a set of Roon Server logs, that would be most helpful!

Thank you, Mike! :folded_hands:

Hi @Mike_Tufts,

According to our diagnostic servers, the ROCK was recently online. We gathered logs and see Roon successfully creating new backups.

However, logs don’t go back far enough to ensure whether you were able to restore the Backup in question to create the current version of your database.

Were you able to restore the Backup in question to your ROCK, or did you end up creating a new DB from scratch?

Can you restore this Backup on the Windows machine itself?

Please also share a screenshot of the actual Backups folder in a file viewer. RoonOS logs show errors related to nested Backups when attempting to access the location while creating new Backups.

Thanks for following up. I was able to restore an old back up which got me close enough to where I want to be.

I think this issue may have been user error and I know what I what I did wrong so at this point I have put this issue behind me, however I now have issues with my server crashing and also ARC not connecting. I believe the server crash is due to my cheap computer overheating but I’m still trying to sort it out. As to ARC, I have know idea yet.

Thanks for your efforts

Mike

Hey @Mike_Tufts,

Thanks for the update! We can see an array of different failures across recent Roon Server logs, I’d be curious to see if reinstalling RoonOS followed by a server reboot may help stabilize things.

To get started, you’ll need to access the webUI of your ROCK, here’s more info on this:

From there, you can perform the OS reinstall, as well as rebooting Roon Server.

We’ll be monitoring for your reply and results, thank you! :folded_hands:

The reinstall may have fixed it. No crashes since then. I have also been able to reconnect ARC by signing out and back in again.

Thanks for your help!

Hello @Mike_Tufts ,

Glad to hear that the reinstall resolved the issue on your end, this is great news! I’ll go ahead and mark your thread for closure, thanks!
