how can I bring back exported disk?
I accidentally exported my 2 4tb disks of RN102 running RAID 1. How can I bring them back, to the same exactly setup, without losing any data?
Hello
I have contacted the Netgear support. Somehow the EXPORT option messed the config files.
They did for me a reinstallation of os through telnet, and everything came back to normal.
Thank you very much for your help in here, and deffinetely QH and the other persons in the support!
Cheers
Hi DimitriosCh,
Welcome to the community!
The volume will be currently inactive. The best thing to do here is contact our support team and raise your ticket to one of our Engineers.

Hi Brian_L
isn't there any documentation regarding exporting and importing volumes on RN 102?
The ReadyNAS OS 6.4 Software Manual provides very little, only on how to export a volume, without any particular mention that will actually freeze everyhting.
Kind regards,
DimitrisCh
Hello DimitriosCh,
We have already requested for an article about exporting volume to be posted on KB server.
Unfortunately, there is no import option, you may need to restart the NAS and recreate the volume and manually copy files over, or create a backup job.Regards,Hello Jennc,
I don't really get the use of an export option if this is just like deleting.
In any case, since one disk was the mirror of the other and there is no other backup, is there any way to retrieve the data from such a disk?
I don't think they have been erased, because it didn't last long the exporting procedure. Any recovery possible?
Thanks!

Hello DimitriosCh,
That is use if you have multiple volumes on one ReadyNAS and if you want to move one of them to a new ReadyNASIf it was not successful you should still be able to see your volume in the NAS and access it.
Where did you export the volume?
