ReadyDR NAS 2120v2

Question

Hi to all!I would like to enable the ReadyDR function on my RN 2120v2 but I read that shouldn't work on this NAS model because using an ARM processor.&nbsp;&nbsp;The question is why the firmware 6.10.2 I can enabling and configuring&nbsp; ReadyDR on my NAS without warning or issue about incompatibility? This means that now is possible to use or what?&nbsp;Thx for the help!Orlando

Hi&nbsp;orlroc,

&nbsp;

Welcome to the Community!

&nbsp;

RN200 series can support ReadyDR but the RN100 series can't support it because it is not powerful enough. I think the RN2120 can support it because it has 2GB of RAM. I will have to double-check if the RN2120 can really support ReadyDR. I will provide an update once I get a confirmation.

&nbsp;

Hi&nbsp;orlroc,

&nbsp;

I got an update. RN2120 can't support ReadyDR as well.

&nbsp;

May I have the serial number of your NAS?&nbsp;We will need this so we can log a ticket to the appropriate team to correct this. Please send it to me via PM (private message).

Sorry but I don't understand... Netgear removed Netgear Replicate services from a NAS that you are selling yet and added ReadyNas DR feature that doesn't work on this model... So in your site, advertising, eshop site, show that the 2120v2 has a feature that It's not really available.... It's not correct for the customer!&nbsp;

&nbsp;

JohnCM_S: It is inconsistent, and IMO that should be corrected.&nbsp; For instance,&nbsp;https://www.netgear.com/images/datasheet/storage/RN2120_RR2304_RN3138.pdf says that "all ReadyNAS support ... ReadyDR" on page 1, but correctly says that the RN2120v2 does not on the bottom of page 2.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
FWIW, if I were in Netgear's shoes I'd just enable it on the RN2120v2, since it has enough memory.&nbsp; Performance would be less than the other rack mount ReadyNAS, though that is already the case for normal access.
&nbsp;
orlroc: If you are backing up shares, then you could look at combining rsync incremental backup with snapshots (which create retention).&nbsp; That has similar properties - and it is highly available (unlike ReadyDR).&nbsp; But it's not ideal for iSCSI LUNs, since rsync copies the entire LUN when anything changes.
