Booting Spinning Up
Hi Sorry for the lack of detail however I think I am on the last release of RAIDar. My ReadyNAS Duo+ is booting spinning up constantly although I am sure when I went on holiday two weeks ago it said it was spinning down. As I have no access to RAIDar - although this does tell me the system is starting up - I can't turn it off. The power button doesn't respond and I don't know what to do as I can't seem to access it at all. It's not good telling me it's not a back up solution as that's what I thought I had bought it for. I have 2 disks in RAID mirroring each other but otherwise no back up of that data which includes very precious photos. Can anyone tell me a) How do I do a reset and if I do then does that lose data from the disks? b) I was unaware that I had set it to do this so I don't understand why it has suddenly just started doing this when I have had the system for years c) I don't have a continuous power supply - what would happen if I just turn the power off - would the machine reboot or is that likely to corrupt the disks. Thanks for any assistance Kind regards Kelly
