All good now and family photos dating back to 2004 are safe.

Glad you got it sorted out. But if your NAS is the only place those photos exist, they are not as secure as you think. You already got a scare that bad things can happen that RAID will not solve. You really need true backup.

Back-up Done!!

Would just like to add that I’m really impressed by the service provided by Netgear!

Do you know if he moved the cache out of the OS partition?

If he didn't, the problem could come back.

Installing this add-on will move the cache:  http://www.readynas.com/download/addons/x86/4.2/Toggle_ReadyDLNA_CacheDir_1.0-x86.bin

But if he already moved it, then it would move it back.

I agree with Sandshark that you should back them up (and back them up regularly).
