How to Upgrade Disks in ReadyNAS Duo V1
I have an older Sparc ReadyNas Duo V1 with RAID-X and two 500 GB Disks. We use our NAS as our primary network storage within the media share. There is the regular assortment of folders with off...
All is good, or at least getting better.
With all my gear plugged into my UPS properly,
my ReadyNAS now says 168 minutes of power with only my NAS and Router plugged into the BACKUP side of the UPS.
I think that may be the correct amount of time.
I only do snapshot backups to an external MyBook (2TB). Alternate between two of them.
I have the copy that I made just before the upgrade,
and the restore from that copy seems to be complete.
I'll make the other copy tonight or soon...
It takes nearly 8 hours to copy the 290GB from ReadyNAS to the MyBook using the USB 2.0 on the front of ReadyNAS.
I can see this growing over time...
Is there a quicker way to copy that much data?
My new ASUS router has a USB 3.0 port, would it be a lot faster to use a PC to Copy the ReadyNas to the MyBook plugged in there?
I hate to run a PC overnight though... Is there any way the ReadyNAS could perform that copy all by itself?
Incremental backups seem like overkill for my environment, as most data is not all that critical and not very dynamic,
and I always make a backup after uploading a bunch of vacation pictures. Certainly before I erase the SD cards.
With the RAID-X I am planning to "almost never" need my backup disk anyway.
Surely the RAID-X, along with the UPS (properly configured now), buys me years of reliable service?
Thanks again, guys!
I'm going to wait until I have another backup copy before I "pull the plug" on my UPS to test the automatic shutdown feature on the ReadyNAS at 30%.
