Question about resetting
Hi all, I want to know - I have a readynas duo with 2x 1tb seagate drives. I have read that if I pressed the reset button on the back for more than 10seconds, it will do a complete factory reset (...
All of the data & config settings are stored on the drives, so even if you could "restore" the data using your proposed method everything would be exactly the same as it is now.
*Most* add-on issues can be rectified using a firmware re-installation which resets admin password, network settings and a few other things, but leaves your data volume intact. Then, re-configure your NAS settings and re-install Transmission and any other add-ons.
If you wish to factory default/reset, you'll need to:
1. Backup your data to USB or other external device (and verify it)
2. Backup the config (if desired)
3. Factory reset.
4. Restore config (or manually recreate shares, users, permissions, etc)
5. Restore data
6. Re-install add-ons
