ReadyNAS NV+ v2 Raid Sync OK, Volume expansion failed?
Hi, I've been using a ReadyNAS NV+ v2 for a few years. Over the past few years, I had reached 3 x 4TB Seagate drives (ST4000VN000-1H4168) and 1 x 2TBWestern Digital Red (WD20EFRX) using X-RAID2 ...

But the sharing protocols and their settings have not restored to their previous setting, despite backing up everything except 'Everything' and 'Data Volumes'. Thankfully I took some screen captures of some of the protocol settings pages, but I would have thought these should have been restored?
Have I done anything daft?!
I've never owned a v2, so I don't have first-hand experience on what settings it saves. I've have also expected protocol settings to be saved/restored though. FWIW, I have seen that not all settings are carried over with OS-6 NAS too, so it is good that you took the screen captures.
Anyway, nothing daft.

As a side-note, I'd love to know what settings/permissions are recommended for NFS and SMB... I'm using the ReadyNAS purely to serve all music and videos to an Nvidia Shield and my Windows PC; all on the same network.
One challenge here is that the software manual doesn't say what settings 5.3.x firmware lets you change. But I'd start with the default settings for both protocols. They will be set to allow anyone on your local network to access the NAS (which sounds like it should be ok for your environment).
Thanks StephenB
The re-build/sync or whatever it was doing to disk 4 has now complated after ~24 hours.
I can log in to the web interface now using the default login details. I went straight to the backup/restore section and navigated to the zipped folder that the device saved. After a re-boot I was able to login using the changed login and password, so this part seems to have worked OK. But the sharing protocols and their settings have not restored to their previous setting, despite backing up everything except 'Everything' and 'Data Volumes'. Thankfully I took some screen captures of some of the protocol settings pages, but I would have thought these should have been restored?
