Welcome to the Community!
Have you made any changes to the volume name of your NAS? or did you perform Factory reset before restore?
Have you tried renaming the volume to the same name before the restore? or redownloading the configuration using a different browser.
HTH
No name changes. The volumes were 4x4TB now they are 4x8TB.
That is the only change that has been made. I actually didn't know the device would factory reset when i swapped the volumes out. I was giving myself a safety net by downloading that configuration backup for everything just in case something went south. So here we are standing south and the backup file is "damaged"
I can't download it from a different browser now that the config is different. I basically need that config that I already have to work and it seems that I am out of cards to try here.
If you still have the original drives, just put them back in and save the configuration again. Your NAS didn't "reset" because you replaced with new drives. The OS, including configuration, is stored on the drives, not in the NAS flash, so you started from a fresh configuration slate with fresh drives. That old configuration is still on the old drives and will be used when you boot from them since you replaced them all at once.
Old - 4x4TB drives (backup downloaded) New - 4x8TB drives
Okay, so can I put 2 of the original Drives back in and grab / backup the config and then swap them out so the config will carry over to the new setup?
