Failed FrontView backup, how to fix?

If you're going to get new disks, after you've done the backup, power down and remove the old disks (label order) and do the factory default with the new disks installed. That way if you have a problem you've at least got your old array available to use.

Yes, absolutely essential.

Great news, I'll go with a 314.

There is the support situation, but if you maintain regular backups you can always restore from backup if needed. It should work well. Fan control should work well now, but if you don't like it you can downgrade back to 4.2.27. This does of course require another factory default (wipes all data, settings, everything). OS6 on x86_64 hardware (all models with Intel CPUs that are able to run OS6) does have the advantage that you can expand a volume past 16TB so if you need a volume > 16TB on OS6 you don't need to do a factory default with all the drives in place.

Excellent, especially as larger disks become available. Sounds like OS6 has come a long way since last year. Glad to hear that. I'll give it a try and report back.

My Pro 6 warranty expired a while ago, but thanks to your and this community's excellent support, it's still running strong. It's a very solid box and I look forward to pushing it even further.
