Upgrading my RN104 from 6.1.9
Greetings. I received some great advice on another thread but that was quite a while ago and it is closed. And I am just now finally getting around to this upgrade. My RN104 is on version 6.1.9...
This is done.
Thanks,
BJB
Maintenance is really based on use case. For instance, if you load your ReadyNAS 1 time full of data, you don't need to run maintenance really ever.
If you use programs that do a lot of downloading or changing of files or bit rot protection enabled, you might want to consider doing that more frequently. I recommend no more than once a week of defrag/balance on extremely busy units but only run during periods of very low activity. If you just use it as storage, maybe once every quarter or half-year is sufficient.

Thanks for the input. I checked and since it was the default setting I do have bitrot turned on. I have limited activity on it as I mentioned (used for backup/storage. Occasional access for streaming. So I will stick with the once a quarter/half year.
