Hi,  
I am running umbrel on Ubuntu with LN channels running. The SSD which contain both OS and Umbrel corrupted and I can not get in to retrieve Umbrel channel backup. Is there anyway I can get the online backup from Umbrel servers? or a way I can restore all the LN Channels and funds from both on-chain and off-chain from 24 words seed phase without channels backup files?  
Thank you

@paowon apparently you are not the first one having this issue and probably nor the last one either 🙂 there are a [few similar topics here in the community](http://community.umbrel.com/search?q=restore%20channels).

From my understanding, the best way is to DM @mayank or @lukechilds with [your backup ID](http://community.umbrel.com/t/need-my-channel-backup-for-restoring-closing-channels-after-ssd-failure/5903/5)

Next time, use a Debian OS not Ubuntu. Debian is more stable, reliable and have a very good checkdisk at startup/shutdown.
