Restoring a RN102 After Factory Reset
RN102
FW 6.7
RAID1 with two 4 TB drives
I had to factory reset my RN102. That went fine. Now I have 4TB of clean space.
Prior to the reset, the RN102 was backed up to an external 5TB drive.
I can read the USB drive with Paragon ExtFS for Windows. I see all the data, but the RN102 doesn't recognize this as a backup drive.
I remember seeing something earlier in the forum about copying some kind of backup configuration file from the USB to somewhere in the NAS file system. Can someone kindly point to this forum post or tell what to copy over, where to copy it to and how to make the RN102 recognize the backup.
Thanks for your kindness.
Bob
