LND Recovery from Backup (exact UI flow) I’ve analysed the LND recovery process on Umbrel step by step, based on the Lightning seed + Static Channel Backup (SCB) recovery model used by Umbrel. I’m attaching notes covering the two main scenarios: 1. recovery on an existing Umbrel install, and 2. recovery after a full reinstall or sudden, unplanned hardware retirement. If your Umbrel decides to stop cooperating one day, this is exactly what will happen during recovery — including the intentionally force‑closed channels and the wait for funds to reappear on‑chain after timelocks. Knowing this in advance should make it much easier to prepare properly and spare some unnecessary stress.
