Hi,
Yes it does say Duo v2 on the front!
What I don't understand is that i got the new NAS box straight out of the packaging & plugged one (just to be cautious) of the two original drives in. The unit then appeared to have all the original settings (i.e. unit name, IP address, shares & data etc.).
Yes I do have a backup on external hard disc!

I don't own any v2 systems, so this isn't something I can try myself. But the guidance from Netgear is that you can only mount the v2 file system temporarily - and that requires assistance from support. So I don't understand this either.

Then you should do a factory default from the boot menu (see pages 50-51 here: http://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/READYNAS-100/ReadyNAS_%20OS6_Desktop_HM_EN.pdf ). Then configure your new NAS and load the files from your backup disk.
