Cannot find addons to reinstall
I have just changed the 2 disks on my Duo and it is now starting up after doing a factory default.
I did a config backup before i changed the discs, but before i restore the backup I need to reinstall the photo & btorrent addins but I cannot find them,
Will it be ok If i just restore the config backup without reintalling those two addons as I will not be using them, but they came with the origional firmware and I assumed they would just be reinstalled automatically

- BitTorrent has not been included in the firmware since ~4.1.6. It is no longer supported, so it was removed. Photos1 is also EOL and no longer supported.
You could install Transmission for BitTorrent function. viewtopic.php?f=47&t=68536 - The add-on are separate from the system backup config. You will need to download and re-install the addons you would like to use.
The Bittorrent add-on development has been discontinued for a little bit now. There is an alternative that works well called Tansmission:

The ReadyNAS Photos Add-on has recently been EOL for the Duo (Spark) products:

Will it be ok If i just restore the config backup without having reinstalled those two addons as I will not be using them - Yes

Thanks for that mdgm, much appreciated :)- It won't find the missing add-ons so it won't be able to start them. There's no harm in leaving those entries there if you don't intend to re-install those add-ons.
