Backup config option?

If my boot device fails, what is the restore procedure?
I can't seem to find one if there is, like restoring my datasets pools users etc

Hello. If your boot device fails just install a new boot drive.  Reinstall with the HexOS USB stick and install to that boot drive. Once it restarts and boots up it would probably be best to log into your to trueNAS and do the OS update. Have it reboot. Once up and running login to the hub of HexOS and unclaim your server so you have a license to use. Then select the add server option and reclaim your server. Skip the drive setup options so you can set up manually. Usually HexOS sees your existing data automatically. Sometimes you have to resetup your apps. In few instances you have to do an import in TrueNas for it to see your previous data volumes. When it auto detects it HexOS sees it which is most of the time. And in rare instances TrueNAS doesn't see it and that import option has to be done. This is just the general overview.

A few weeks ago I did approximately the above sequence, but I had to manually recreate the share folders in HexOS based on what the pool showed in truenas.  Maybe it's different now, but there needs to be a cleaner way to back up the configuration and restore the boot drive without a hacky workaround.  The whole point of HexOS is I should never have to go into truenas or do anything very manual.  I also had to redownload my apps but this was just plex and Immich so not a big deal for me, but bigger for others.
