It seems those are running well on Duo according to some messages I found on this forum, but should I expect any trouble with my NV+ or can I go ahead without worries ?
I know critical data are to be on backup, but it would be no fun to restore, especially when trying to get back all the non-critical stuff I can't afford to backup easily.
