Thanks once more, particularly with your comment regarding your own use of a "backup" NAS. I believe, too, it is the "best" solution to data backup.
I do hope the documentation exists for my "old" 2150 instructing specifically how to program the auto backup to a second NAS. There is no "restriction" for the second NAS, I hope, as I intend to use a "new" ReadyNAS as my backup. I am aware the "new" and the "old" cannot read each other's disks such as when one attempts to "swap" disks between the two NAS.
I am backing up my Pro-6 (which runs OS 4.2.28) to an RN102+RN202 running OS 6.4.2 beta. So you can use a newer NAS with no issues. There are some guides (for instance http://kb.netgear.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/29788/~/readynas-backup-faq ), and of course you can always ask for help here.

Keep close to your keyboard -- you may hear from me again!!
You are a life-saver (or, I should say, a data-saver).
