Planning for major recovery
Just converted client over to Readynas NV+ from an old 2bay NAS from another manufacturer. The old NAS failed along with one of the drives. We were able to recover data from the remaining drive by i...
A1. Can only install in another NAS on the same platform. The Duo and NV+ are the newest Sparc ReadyNAS available. Considering the limitations of the Sparc platform vs x86, I highly doubt there'll be any new Sparc ReadyNAS models released
B1. Similar to A1 except that you should note that you can only migrate a redundant NAS to another NAS. It is unlikely that a drive and the NAS chassis would fail at the same time.
A2 and B2: Recovery using a Linux device be possible.
NetGear should still offer a data recovery service for Sparc ReadyNAS for quite a while yet, so that is an option worth considering.
In any case if your clients don't backup you should recommend they do and encourage them to do so. When you consider that data recovery can be quite expensive you can consider implementing backups as insurance for your data.
