ReadyNAS 314 stuck on "Booting..." after failed Emby app update

I've been using my ReadyNAS 314 without a problem for several years (I previously owned an NV+ which I've since handed down to my mother and also maintain). Today, I got a notification that a new ver...

UPDATE: I did another USB Recovery and immediately followed up with an OS Reinstall, and once again the ReadyNAS got stuck booting at 98%. HOWEVER, I am now able to access Emby and all of my media, but I can't access the admin page or connect over SSH.

Any ideas how to get that access back, and get the ReadyNAS to finish booting?

At this point, all I want to be able to do is backup my data so I can transfer it to a new NAS. But since the ReadyNAS won't finish booting, I can't. I'm not able to access it via SMB either. It doesn't show up in Windows File Manager at all.

Does anyone have any ideas at all?

  UPDATE: Using the "Tech Support" boot option, I was able to Telnet into the ReadyNAS. I'm able to access my data, but I can't figure out how to mount a USB drive to back it up. Is there an easy way to do that? Since I don't have access to the Admin front-end, I need to be able to do it via the command line.

    How is the USB drive formated?
    
    Also, does
    
    systemctl start smb
    
    work?
    
    That would start up the SMB service, so you can access the files over the network.
