 Worse case scenario, you can recover with seed. I did that with my umbrel. You will be fine. 
 Oh speaking of... I've got another node that I can't access. Umbrel won't start because I can't get it to sync. All the channels have been closed except one according to amboss. I know I can recover onchain funds w seed but what to do abt the lightning channel? How do I force it to close so the funds return onchain, it without being able to access the node? Let's assume the channel partner is also mia...?

 Thanks! Sounds like invoking scb is the way to go for me. I meant to wipe that drive and start over with start9 anyways 
 you are still dealing with this node?! sorry to hear. 🫂

 Yeah... it's ok. By "dealing with it" it's more like 99% given up on it and have been simply ignoring it and my problems lol 
 What happens if you sync a new node and tried to recover with the seed?
