NV+ backup/expand/restore
After living happily with our NV+ for several years, we are now ready to expand the storage. We currently have a 1TB config (4 by 250MB XRAID), and plan to replace the HDs to a total of 4TB (4 by 1TB...
(a) save the configuration file from Frontview
What the heck is Frontview? All I've ever used is RAIDar. Guess I better look it up... I hardly ever use RAIDar BTW; only once every once in a while when I need to update the firmware.
The fastest way to copy the network shares is over a gigabit ethernet connection - that is quite a bit quicker than using the USB ports on the NAS. So maybe attach a USB drive to a PC, and copy over the network from the PC. I suggest using teracopy or robocopy to ensure that everything is transferred reliably.
I find it hard to believe that going over USB is slower than gigabit... I suppose it might be, but it takes all night (8+ hours) to do our full 100GB backup over gigabit with Acronis.
I've never used the "Backup" button on our NV+. What exactly gets done? I've always assumed it just copied the file structure on the NV+ to the attached USB drive. Is it something else?
