Disks All OK (Green) but Volume is blank/missing

I have been using the readynas NV+ 2 for a few months without a problem but I hit a few error message when trying to configure it for TimeMachine use.

Shortly after the volume disappeared but everything else is showing green.

My RAIDar screen


My Disks all look good


But the Volume is not showing at all.


I'm not really sure what to do to get my volume back, please help if you can.

  • I switched to a Synology 1812+ with 5x3TB WD Red drives as my main NAS and am replacing the Seagate drives in my NV+V2 with Red. I really can't afford the mess the last failure left me with.

    I will use the pair of NV+V2 I have as a local and remote backup but with more reliable drives, I expect the first 4 Red drives to arrive today so I can replace the dead volume and start a new backup. (anyone want 8 used Seagate ST3000DM001 drives?)

    Until I have a safe second backup, I'm leaving my current backup NV+V2 offline. I'd hate to have to use the USB backup drives to piece it all back together if the primary backup (on Seagate drives) has the same failure as my primary NAS did.

    I do take backup very seriously.
