Thanks for the info about ReclaiME, I'll have a look.
Frankly, I won't pay for Netgear support at this point as I've been going through my old backup (most photos from 2008 to 2014 are there) and I've got some from 2015,2016 on external drives.
Might be a case where I've lost 5 or 10% of total photos but if a recovery software allows me to regain part of that, that's all I'm asking for.
For the future though, what kind of sync would you guys recommend to backup the Netgear to an external RAID on the same LAN? Rsync or is there something graphical and easier ?

fwiw I use a readynas104 to backup the main readynas314.
attached to the 104 I have a 5tb usb drive I then also use for a bi-weekly backup OF some of the backups done on the 104.
so 314 rsyncs to 104 nightly on multiple items and every 3 days or so the stuff I need to keep on the 104 backs up to the 5tb usb drive.
if raid issue happens on the 314 or something I need deleted then can pull from the 104.
if raid issue on the 104 I can pull from the usb.
if all 3 die at same time I am just gonna give up toss everything away and live in a cave.
