RN104 How to use backup/restore solution
Hi All, After 7 years I had some issues last week starting with a disk failure. This disk was replaced and the array was rebuild successfully, sadly after two days the same bay failed again. And ...
You'll need to rebuild the NAS with the new disks (recreating the shares, any user accounts, and reinstalling any apps). If you use the private "home" folders you will also need to log into the NAS using the account credentials from a PC, in order to re-create those folders.
After that, you'll need to copy the data from the backup drive to the shares. You can create backup job(s) on the NAS to do that.
If the backup drive is formatted as NTFS you could also connect the backup drive to a PC and copy the files over a wired network connection. If you do this, I suggest using a copy utility (for instance Teracopy or FreeFileSync) instead of using drag-and-drop.
