Ready Nas update Fail
Hi- I was attempting to update my firmware 4.1.14 to 15 when the unit seems to have frozen. After the update was verified I was asked to reboot but when I pushed to shut down and reboot button nothing happened. I tried again and now the unit stays on with a steady green light flashing fast and regular. Raidar no longer lists the model and shows the drives (2) as Not present. Also, when I ask to see Fronview, it comes up unreadable (Null).
BTW, I can also still read and play the contents of the volume in finder.
Baffled,
Alan

Can I schedule a backup once a week this way so that it syncs any new files that I've to the ReadyNAS during the week?
You can. Chapter 6 in the manual (page 81 and following) should give you some idea on it. http://www.readynas.com/download/documentation/UM/RAIDiator4-1_SW_en_30Nov11.pdf
Rsync is a good protocol for this, but how to use it for a local disk isn't explained in the manual. So you could read this also: http://readynas.sphardy.com/2011/04/backing-up-via-rsync-to-local-usb-disk_9153.html
Another option is to connect the drive to your mac (reformatting again :smileyfrustrated: ), and doing the backup over ethernet. That is actually faster, but does require the PC to be running.

Do you have a backup? Might be a good time to make one.
Odds are you have a filling OS partition. If you have SSH enabled and are ok with linux commands you could confirm that (and likely fix it).
I do have some backups but I'd still like to fix the problem. what is SSH enabled?

Likely it isn't enabled if you don't know. There's an add-on for the NAS that allows you to access the NAS using ssh, giving you a low-level command line interface to the linux operating system.
If you have a backup, you can do a factory default on the NAS which will wipe the disks and do a fresh factory install. You'd then set up the NAS again and restore the data from the backup.
Another option is to contact Netgear support at my.netgear.com and ask about per-incident (paid) support.
