Understanding Migration using ReadyDR to new device and preserve ALL of the current snapshots
Looking to have two NAS units which are syncronized INCLUDING snapshots: I have been happily running my pro6 for many years, backed up a year ago and migrated to 6.6.0 and have continuously upgra...

Correct. Look for the RN422. The RN312 might still be on the shelves, but the RN422 is replacing it. (The RN312 is still supported of course, so if you see a good deal on it, perhaps consider it too).
Thanks for the heads up on the 422 vs 312 units. I will report back when I have some results.
Well, bit the bullet and bought the 626x and a couple of 10TB IronWolf drives, planning on testing this question as I go through the process of ending up with a backup machine and a primary machine (while retaining offite backups too).
Planning on testing several of the options prior to making this new box a production server and should answer the questions I posed along the way in this link.
I went ahead and updated the new box to 6.8.0 after reading the release notes but did not notice the comment about not being able to use the UI to install apps. It notes there is a manual approach. I have uploaded apps directly in the past (primary machine never sees the internet) but still used the UI if I remember correctly. There is a comment that it will be fixed in 6.8.1, any comment on when that build will become available. This is currently not a production server so I could run a beta build and will look around at those.
Thanks

Netgear generally won't say, but I think it will be quite soon. It's at release candidate 2 now, and 6.9.0 beta just started in parallel.

Thanks! I successfully "downgraded" back to 6.7.5 which is what my Pro6 is running. Just to be really sure I did not cause trouble (due to the comment about not downgrading, I performed a factory default to ensure the disk was restored to it's correct 6.7.5 status.
Just received an ST10000vnB004 drive (not on the compatability list) when I ordered an ST10000vn0004 drive (which is on the compatability list) and so the level of fun with this NAS will have to wait a few days until I can confirm that this is the same drive (perhaps a slightly different build level) or something rather different. No data on the Seagate website.
At any rate, I will plan to keep this up as documentation of my efforts to move snapshots and try using various backup methods to fully preserve the snapshots on the system, how to utilize the tools provided for full disaster recovery, and the like.
