    It appears the problem is now fixed. The system has booted up and the management service is offline.

     

    Still it's good to have a backup.

How are you backing up the files? Using a backup job running on one of the units or another method?

Just copying from one drive to the other.

Are you suggesting that there be a performance difference/increase if we do it as a "back up" within a nas opperating system?

    Copying the files using Windows Explorer you'd be copying the files from one NAS to your PC then to the other NAS rather than directly between the two.

      If I connect a large USB3 drive to the USB slot on the unit will that be a faster transfer?

        Backup jobs would probably be fastest. If you connect a USB disk, but use Windows Explorer you'll be copying from NAS to your PC then back over your network to the NAS onto the USB disk.
