Question related to my ReadyNas516
I had couple of questions if you can please answer please.
1. How can I update the Mono version and what is the latest version i can update to.
2. How to backup the whole readynas
3. Ho...
A config backup restores the configuration for the in-built features, not for apps.
You'd have to note down/backup/restore your app settings/data separately.
If you're wanting to experiment doing things using SSH you're better off doing that initially in a Virtual Machine (e.g. in VirtualBox on your PC) that you can take a VM snapshot of allowing you to roll-back mistakes. Then after trying it out on the VM once you're happy with it give it a go on the NAS itself.
I don't use mono. On the backup questions, you might want to read through these faq: https://kb.netgear.com/29788/ReadyNAS-Backup-FAQ

4. Is it a good idea to do a factory restore
Sometimes, but not usually. Why are you thinking you should do one?
Thank You for answering
Currently i have some apps installed that require a higher version of Mono, i currently have mono 4.5 i need to install 5.8 or later for this app to work correctly.
Also the backup and restore article is not very clear. I wanted to restore beccause I installed many thing and believe it is best to start over.
