[QUOTE="Analoguesat, post: 846337, member: 176362"] Yesterday morning we had a power cut. My 2 drive 1TB Netgear Duo NASbox really wasnt at all happy when it was restarted after I got back from work. This has thousands of mp3's on it and 10 years worth of digital photos, plus all my backups of the screen grabs on the forum, linux box images and tools etc etc. All the really important stuff is backed up elsewhere but total loss of the nas data would be a major inconvenience putting it all back together! The blue power led was pulsing regularly and the small green led just under the power button was flashing once every 10 seconds or so. Thinking it was corrupted firmware I tried the fixes you can find (putting a paperclip into the reset hole and holding the button down whilst repowering). This did nothing. The drives are set up as mirrored so I turned it off, popped drive 2 out and rebooted it. No change in state. So I put drive #2 back in and removed drive 1 The box booted beautifully :) And all the data was intact. So its been switched off again, and two new 1TB drives are on order. The beauty of the NAS system is that when the new drive is inserted into bay 1 it will automatically rebuild the mirror over a few hours, then a few days later I'll swap the second drive over and it'll rebuild the mirror again. The old 1TB drive#2 will be reused for something none critical - and drive #1 will be scrapped. [/QUOTE]
