ReadyNAS NV+ performance and file permission issues.
I have a NV+ with 4x1TB HDD. Lately its performance is pretty slow. Initially I attributed this to marginal WIFI connection to my router (the NV+ is hardwired), but the other night I connected my lap...

The fastest method over wired ethernet,using NFS, followed by Windows (CIFS). Rsync is robust, but not as fast as the other two for full restores.
One popular method is to configure the backup as incremental NFS, then edit the job after it completes to use rsync. Then rerun it. Running it again should be incremental (and very fast), and it can clean up any mismatches in owner/group/permissions/timestamps.
If you are connecting the USB drive directly to the NAS, then local->local is the fastest option. But that is slower than wired ethernet on the NV+ v1.

Factory reset has been performed. Disk 4 performed a "sync" after the reset, which I did not expect. This made frontview extremely slow. Hopefully it all be done when I get home. What is the fastest / best way to restore data? Rsync?

Thanks! I learned a lot about this gizmo from talking to you. Even though I've owned it nearly 8 years.

The disks have to be synced sector by sector to setup the RAID. That is why there was a resync as a result of doing the factory reset.
