Downgrading from OS6 to 4.x
well, can someone advise if I can go Backwards? I need the ability to do Three drive Mirroring like OS 4.x can do
You swap drives regularly for your "backup"? That's a very bad idea
Sorry, I don't see how that link applies, maybe if I explain how we run the readynas boxes
1, we purchase 30x drives of around 2tb
2, we build a Three Drive Raid 1 array on the NAS
3, the backups run at night so nothing is running in the morning
4, the NAS is powered down, then one of the disks is removed. the removed disk is taken to one of our users homes each night (and we keep quite a few of the previous backups at the users home)
5, that disk is replaced with the next disk in the two week rotation + end of month
6, the NAS is then powered back up (at which point it begins an Automatic rebuild)
we have actually use these backups many times over for years, so we know it works
