Disaster Recovery in Server Failures
Good afternoon. I have a question on options for disaster recovery. I have several ReadyNAS servers all running OS 6.10.4, a ReadyNAS 424, and a ReadyNAS 312. In the event of a server unit failu...
You can move the volume to another NAS as lng as it has enough bays. If moving between ARM and Intel architecture, it is best if you remove any apps first, but you can't do that if you have no working chassis of the right type. But I believe you can still remove and re-install most after the change.
Netgear only officially covers the migration from ARM to Intel, as they expect a user to upgrade. But I have done the opposite without any issue, though not for a long usage period.

OK thanks. Your reply indicates my ideas are in the right direction. I wouldn't be crossing the processor families; I know that can be highly problematic. (I'm a member of an OS server suite Open Source Project)
I'm hoping to never be in that predicament, but I dd just have to explain to a seniot partner how ugly the scenario could be, given RaedyNAS equipment availbility currently.
After I explamed how long we might need to recover, I got an OK for a 'worst-case' disaster recovery plan using a backup server.
Thanks again, Cheers!
