Hello Community,
Our ReadNAS NVX Business Edition (X-Raid2) with Firmware Raidiator 4.2.9 has just died on us. We need to transfer the data that is stored on it's disks to a new NAS system. We need information on what is involved in doing this. Is it just a matter of loading the disks from the "Old" system into the "New" system and booting it up? Or does it involve some type of formatting beofre hand?
Thanks,
John
