Description Of Issue
My NUC8i3BEH crashed the day before v1.8 rolled out. I am still uncertain why it won’t boot. It could be the M2 SSD or the Motherboard.
I installed Roon Core on my Synology ds918. It’s working quite well.
I am reluctant to restore my last backup, which was of Roon v1.7 with the NUC as the Core because I am worried it will not play nice with my new Roon v1.8 Core installation on my Synology DS918.
Am I being overly cautious or am I on the money and should I just eat the loss. It’s my playlists, tags, favourites, bookmarks that I miss. Is there any way to selectively restore items?
I wouldn’t expect the database format to have been changed by the update, so you should be able to restore your last good backup. If it fails, you can just stop the core, delete the database and restart the core with a clean slate. Worst case, you can uninstall and reinstall the core if you have to.
I moved the database around (from external USB SSD to an internal RAID SSD on an RX1217) on my RS3617xs a couple of weeks ago without any issues. Moved the core install location at the same time.
Thank you @Graeme_Finlayson and @dylan . The restore went smoothly. I was a bit concerned at first because when I went to restore the latest backup the OS version was listed near the backup. I had thought a backup restore meant my old OS and other redundant settings would be installed, or rather, “re-installed”. My new OS v1.8 remains intact, it was playlists, tags, favourites, bookmarks that were restored.
