The first thing you definitely should get your backup up to date if you haven't already.
Which model SeaGate 2TB is it?
6.4.2 is over 10 months old now. We have newer firmware available.

Backup is done weekly on an RN102

Given debacle of 6.4.0, and a finally-stable 6.4.2, I won't be upgrading until 6.6.1 or 6.6.2 is out. There is no need to have the latest version in a production box.
