Complete hardware failure. How to acces data again?

[rgmagritte]

Hi!
I would like to know what would be the way to proceed in case of a complete hardware failure where I will have to start again with a fresh TrueNas installation.
The main questions is: The stored data in a 2 disc mirror would be accesible again? if so, what would be the correct way to do it? and if ZFS encryption was activated?
I have been searching through the forum but answers don't fit my questions exactly.
Thanks in advance!
;)

just keep regular backups of your config including secret keys and in case of a hardware failure just install fresh and import your config.

Welcome!

1. Automated periodic backups of your config.
2. 3-2-1 backup strategy.

SOLVED!. it seems very easy. Thank you very much guys!

Without backups in case of a complete hardware failure you would lose your data.

I think he meant complete failure except for data disks.

Haha! Exactly! Sorry it was my fault! ‍

Then it's ok, losing the pool is pretty much the only way to lose data (if you are using ECC and have a proper scrubbing process).
