Setting up BubbleUPnP server on ReadyNAS OS6
I just wanted to share with you how I successfully installed ab BubbleUPnP server on my RN314:
enable ssh access
download and install Java 8 following this instructions here https://community.n...
There is no supported way to back up and restore the OS. You could try to do that on your own with rsync - as long as you have a backup of your data just in case. I suggest remounting the OS partition in /mnt first (mount /dev/md0 /mnt) - there are several folders that are only used as mount points, and the /mnt approach will keep them from getting in the way. Depending on what goes wrong, you might need to restore from tech support mode, so make sure you know how to use that (and how to mount the OS partition from there).
Another suggestion is to test your package installs on a ReadyNAS VM before applying them to the real NAS.
Thanks for your hints. I can follow that path and allready did it with cloning ubuntu PC's, but there I put the disc out on my desk and connect it to another PC. How can I do this on a readynas? if the system is up and running, the root partition is in use and I would not dare to write on it...? If this is the maintenace mode, any hints how to get there and achieve that..?
Getting the disc out with RAID file system will not work I guess...

You'd boot up in tech support mode, and access the NAS with telnet. The username is root; the password is infr8ntdebug
You can then enter
# start_raids
and mount /dev/md0 to /mnt.
None of this is supported (as you likely already know)
ok, thats a little bit too much risky, just for backing up a configuration thats currently running flawless, and can be retrieved by factory reset...

The current configuration can't be retrieved by a factory reset - a reset is a completely new install. The disks are reformatted, a new copy of the OS is installed, and that has the default configuration.
I agree that the restore is potentailly risky, but I don't see a safer way to do what you originally asked.
