    No.  There is a knowledge base article on that here: http://kb.netgear.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/29876

     

    If you can afford new disks, then NAS->NAS backup jobs are a good way to migrate data.  Then you could try a factory reset on the V2, and see if its stability improves.  If it does, you can use it as a backup for the OS6 NAS.
