Normally I'd expect ~20%, but this is not full enough to hang the NAS.

I think JennC is correct, a factory reset (after you complete the backup) is the best next step. Or buy a new NAS (under the theory that the NV+ hardware might be starting to fail).

Hi.

I have decided to buy a new NAS (made it yesterday).

Thanks for your help.

Hi hby,

I am glad that you bought a new NAS which is an RN102 as it shows into your profile.

Just curious if you were able to transfer you data and access it just fine using your new RN102. Feel free to contact NETGEAR Support at anytime if you need assistance.

Regards,

  Hi Dane.
  I am tranfering my data right now. My old Nas has stopped a couple of times but a restart and a new copy command has completed the copy.

    After everything is moved, perhaps try a factory default on the NV+. If it becomes stable again, you can use it to backup the RN102.
