if i get ssd error can i recover my channels or i can only force close it? It will recover my channel or just force close it ? is my last balance is wrong because umbel do not update my channel state for each routing, and i force closing channel i can potentially lose all fund ?

Hi @ybaidiuk, there are two options here, they are set-up within the settings of the lightning app.

Firstly, it is good to download regular updates of your back-up files to a seperate device/drive from the web dashboard, and you can recover channels with those.

If you have automatic back-ups enabled, Umbrel will also hold encrypted SCB back-ups that you can use from the lightning app.

Do you currently have issues with a SSD error or a lightning channel?

No ssd error for now😎, but I'm warring about my money. I knew about these two options bat what type of recovery is it ? is it force closing recovery ? What about this questions: "is my last balance is wrong because umbel do not update my channel state for each routing, and i force closing channel i can potentially lose all fund ?"

If something happens all you need is your 24 words with automated recovery demonstrated below, it will close channels and recover all funds onchain on any new instance:

I recommend this as the safest and most reliable option, as opposed to offchain channel migration as per LND documentation a lot can go wrong there and it's good to test it out first
