Hi readyram
Welcome to the Community!
mysqldump is not available for OS 4 if correct and that is why you are not seeing it on your Ultra 2 or have you upgraded to OS 6?
If you have OS 6 you should be able to get to it.

Hello Marc_V
Thanks for your reply.
Yes, my readynas is running raidiator 4.2, I guess that's the same as OS 4.
I am a total linux noob, but even if mysqldump is not included in the original OS, shouldn't I be able to install it with apt-get or apt-update of the mysqlclient? mysqldump should be included in mysql 5.0, right?
I've seen some of these old forum threads about running OS 6 on x86 devices. It's typically over 50 pages of discussions and issues so it's not easy to get a clear picture. Do you know if upgrading considered hassle free now or is it still lots of issues?

It's generally hassle-free. The procedure requires a factory reset (reformatting all the disks), so you do need to rebuild the NAS from scratch and restore all the data from a backup.
It is unsupported by Netgear, so you would not be able to use paid support after you convert.
