is configuration preserved when moving disks to new hardware
(Not sure this is the right forum. I did some searching and even asked Netgear support, but no answer.)
My NV+ died. My friend has an NV+. I'm going to borrow it long enough to recover my data by putting my disks in his machine.
If I move all of my disks to the other hardware, I'm sure all of my data (files) will be preserved.
But what about the overall configuration? Will I need to reconfigure the network address, etc., or will that be preserved as well?
I do have a saved config zip file, will I need to restore that? And he'll need to save his config and restore it when I return it to him?
If I need to restore my config, do I do that before inserting my disks? Or do I insert my disks, boot, and then reload the configuration?

- Yes, if you put the drives on the same order. It would run the same as the old one. Check the firmware version though.
- Make sure it is the same kind of NV+. See http://www.rnasguide.com/2012/01/09/how-to-tell-whether-i-have-a-duo-v1-or-duo-v2-or-nv-v1-or-nv-v2/
