From the support page: _The first boot will take about 5 minutes. After that, umbrelOS will automatically detect the connected external drive and auto-import all your data. You can visit `http://umbrel.local` on any device connected to the same network to monitor the data import (migration) process._ What can I do if the automatic import process isn’t starting? The backup disk is correctly mounted, but nothing is happening. ---

Hey @strumi. Can you share a little more on what you’re seeing when you visit [http://umbrel.local](http://umbrel.local) in the browser? ---

Oh that’s not good - I guess you’ve already tried restarting the device with the external drive connected to the USB port, and it still isn’t importing? If so, it’s hard to tell why right - we’ll need to take a look into your logs. Feel free to ssh in (`umbrel@umbrel.local`, password: `umbrel`), and run: ```auto sudo journalctl | sudo tee /usr/local/lib/node_modules/umbreld/ui/log.txt > /dev/null ``` It will ask you for your login password - type `umbrel` (since there’s no user account yet), and press Enter. Then open [http://umbrel.local/log.txt](http://umbrel.local/log.txt) and save the file, and please share it here. Also, in the meantime, you can also chose to inspect the contents of your external drive (note that it’s a bit risky, since you don’t wanna be accidentally deleting something on it). It should have a directory called `umbrel` with all of your previous data. ---

I solved it by following the suggestions in [this](https://community.umbrel.com/t/no-migrating-after-upgrade-to-umbrelos-on-minipc/16993/3) thread.
