Nucleus Plus Data Recovery

Roon Server Machine

Roon Nucleus Plus Rev B

Description of Issue

My Nucleus Plus is not working anymore and I don’t have any backup of my profile.

I have bought a new Mini PC where I am going to install a new Roon Server on Windows.

Harddisk in my Nucleus Plus is still working. The problem is about the mainboard not functional anymore.

Is there a way to get my profile out of the NVMe harddisk and import it to new Roon Server in Windows.

I thought all my playlists etc. were in the cloud and would come automatically but just learned that they are only stored in the hdd in Nucleus+.

How can I do a recovery from the harddisk?

Thanks
Ener

Unfortunately Windows won’t even show the files because the disk is Linux formatted

The idea was to boot from the NVMe disk, so it wouldn’t matter whether Windows can read it

There are thumb-drive Linux distributions available. Even the ubuntu install media is able to do just that (choose “try” instead of “install”). With such a (temporary) Linux distribution available you should be able to access the old SSD and copy data to a save place (maybe an[other] thumb drive or external USB disk if the internal Windows disk is encrypted).

Hi @Ener_Gulum,

We can see an active RoonServer instance on a Windows 11 machine. Did you have a chance to connect the HDMI output of the Nucleus to a monitor? Please let us know what is displayed or share a photo. Thanks!
