Man, this is so greatly organized introduction to TrueNAS. I watched like 50 videos about TrueNAS, I heard a lot of these terms related to it and I was so confused but you have finally explained it all in an clear and organized manner, thank you!!!
You don't loose all your information from updating the truenas system as far as I know , unless you are possibly have a crash while updating ZFS features, the data disks can be moved to different systems. if you use encryption you should have the keys backed up though
Correct, you don't lose your data when updating TrueNAS. I was just mentioning that when you update the ZFS file system then there is a small risk that there could be a bug in the update that leads to data loss (there was an instance of this as early as last year), so having your data just on 1 system is always a bit risky and wise to have a 2nd TrueNAS instance or Cloud backup etc. And for sure you're right that if you enable encryption (which you generally should) then make sure your keys are backed up in multiple places too!
Long winded answer...my channel audience is a bit split and so some videos have been struggling. This video was not doing well for a long time and so my priority for the next video on TrueNAS was low. This video has shown a lot more interest recently so I will for sure move it up the list. I have a few others first but will then pick this up again!

Your nice comment is really appreciated! Thanks.
Thank you very much for the video. Any idea when will you have the next video in the series about installing TrueNas?
Great guide - very clear, to the point and covers a vast range of factors to consider!
