ReadyNAS NV+ access #26406628
I have used this device for five years. The power supply died. I replaced it. Installed the drives are in the same locations. All files and access were back, AFP, CIFS, https (Frontview). Ther...
No. This is not an issue with the firmware on the flash and if it was you should use USB Boot Recovery not TFTP.
There is every indication that this is a problem on the disks not on the flash.
But is nice to see those shares and file again. Don't know how many DVDs I'll need to burn to back up the data (2.3T) Whould that really be 4.7GB divided into 2.3T of data. Eeegads! 489 DVDs.....that's not going to happen. I guess I need to get another NAS and copy transfer over?? I see the falicy of thinking a NAS is backup. At least only one NAS.
I would thinking backing up your data would be a logical next step, yes.
Sounds like it probably isn't data recovery.
Support would need a Pay Per Incident contract to look into this remotely. You may prefer to simply backup your data and restore to factory default (wipes all data, settings, everything) then restore your data from backup.
It could be a full OS partition or something like that.
TFTP. What do you think about doing that as a first try? AFTER THE BACKUP!

I closed the ticket out and I really appreciate all the help. If you recall, Frontview is corrupted and I am trying to backup so I can perform the Factory Reset. I bought a 5 TB usb drive. Formatted it to exFAT (the kid in the store said that was good with Win and Mac) and started to do a copy through by computer.
I have a Mac-mini server running El Cap. I plugged the new drive into the server port. The NAS and Server are both connected via Ethernet on a gb switch. I proceded to copy by selecting all files and folders inside the three shares. The Finder indicated preparaing to copy. After twelve hours it was still preparing to copy and no movement on file counts. (there was movement and then stopped, I don't know if it was the total number or froze or working)
I think I might have been impatient. I hit the stop button on the three share copy windows. Two stopped. One hung. I force quit the Finder and went to check everything out. The new drive had these ghost images with no bytes copied.
Impatient again I decided that I should reformat the drive. This time HPS+
I checked that the NAS and all of my files are still there and I did a test on one file copy and it worked fine. Still have all my files!
I have 2.3 TB of data on the NAS. (total space is 5.7 TB)
So here is my question. Is there a better way to copy than using the Finder in OSX? If I had Frontview I would simply use the usb backup but can't do that.
Any suggestions appreciated. Is there a good copy program separate from the finder? Should I try small chunks of data instead of entire shares worth?
Also, I have a green and amber light at the ethernet port and I know my switch is 1000. Any way to make that just a green light and the the NAS up to 1000? I know it is autosense but what a speed downgrade if I only have 10 or 100.
Thanks again.
