The configuration archive should already be a zip file (though perhaps the Mac didn't store it that way).
Perhaps try downloading a config file from the windows PC. Then maybe you can replace the files with the ones you saved from before???

That does make sense, very strange it wasn't saved as a zip file (guess I should have saved the original config from the PC). I'll have a try, thanks for the advice. One of the shares is the "Media" folder, and I never changed those permissions, so I'm in the process of cloning back about 4TB of data (it's the private accounts that will be the challenge to restore properly).
By the way, why does the title of this thread start with "Betreff"? I didn't start my initial query with that title, is it shorthand for something?
All faffing about aside, it's been an adventure, and I certainly could not have muddled through by myself. I know I've thanked you at just about every stage, so here is an overarching thank you for all the help you've offered: thank you!! I'm a photographer, so if there is anything you'd like to know about just any area of photography (I'm versatile), just ask :-)
Cheers!

Betreff means "subject" in German. The English equivalent would be "Re: novice ReadyNAS user....."
It shows up on the second post - not sure if he entered it, or if his forum language is set to German.
