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.

Have you hotswapped the drives? Expanding should not initiate a Factory, Both 8TB drives successfully resynced? If there was a Factory reset the volume name could have changed. That could be reason you are getting the error.
