ReadyNas Ultra2 RNDU2000 Swapping Hard Drives
Hi, I have a 2 x ReadyNas Ultra 2 chassis with 5 Seagate 2 TB disks... 2 in each and 1 spare. I only use one chassis live, the other was purchased as a replaement when I originally couldn't acces...

Ok I understand the risks. The automated back up facility would have to be NAS to NAS, via the network correct? How do I configure the main Nas to connect to the back up Nas? Both would be connected to the same router. I can't see on the Raidar interface how to configure a back up set to another Netgear box attached via local lan only options are to a "Time machine" or an online Netgear vault.
That would be the best solution I agree..

With OS 4.2.x, you use the admin web ui (frontview) by entering https://nas-ip-address/admin
From there you will see a backup control along the left side - if you click that it will expand to include "add a new backup job".
I have one rsync backup job set up for each share of the NAS (and you can also set one up for the home folders if you use them).
There are a lot more details in the software manual (starting on page 88) here: http://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/RNDU2000/ReadyNAS_Business_SW_05Nov13.pdf
Most of the kb articles are centered on OS-6 now - they can be helpful even with your older OS 4.2 system - the screen layouts are completely different than OS 4.2, but most of the settings are identical.

- Sorted...I found another link, worked a treat, halfway through all the back ups. Thanks big help much appreciated

FWIW, you can get to the documentation (and current firmware, etc) by entering "ReadyNAS Ultra Support" into Google, and then clicking on the Netgear support link for the product. There are sometimes multiple hits (with the above search string the Ultra plus and NVX links also show up early in the list), so you do need to watch for that.
Netgear also has a model search function on http://www.netgear.com/support/, but I find it a bit clumsy.
Thanks... I've finished all the back ups and set it to nightly incremental... I do recall now that I was going to get round to setting this up after the last chassis failed and I bought the new one... but after rebuildind everything... life just got in the way.... much better now... very happy with the results after following your advice..
cheers
