I have a 2.2 USB installation and never backed up the configuration file. The USB device died and appears to be unrecoverable.

What's the best way for me to proceed? Can I set up a new USB device and recreate the config file without initializing the disks, or do I need to back everything up and redo the whole thing?

you should be able to install to a new stick - go through all the steps - serial number - activation and then find the drives - save at each stage and when all is complete you should have a working system - nothing is written to the discs so all the files should be there

Like tony said. Simply do an install on the USB drive and configure it like it was before. I would advise that you unplug the data drives for the install to keep from mistaking one of the data drives for a boot device. It does happen when we don't pay attention. Don't forget to save the config to the USB drive.

After simply shut down, plug the drives in like before and reboot. Configure them for read/write and save and reboot again and you should be golden.
