Post by jasraj@shaw.ca »

Hi,

I have QNAP TVS-672XT with RAID 5 setup. getting system board replace, my question is after system board replaced will I loss my data, or will I get my data back? I have 4 drives labels 1 to 4 do I just setup RAID 5 before I put my drives back.
Thanks

Do a diskless firmware update to latest(use qfinder)..then stick your disks in and start it up

no power needs to be on for the firmware update.(just for the dom image). but none of your drives in

then power off put your drives in and power on

thats not how a backup works. a backup is done PRIOR to something like this OR ANYThing for that matter happening. So then if whatever doesn't work out, no problem you can recover from the backup. Although it may be an inconvenience, at least you still have your data.

i'm glad it worked out for you, but moving forward keep a backup. don't wait till you lose your data before you learn your lesson like i did before i knew better (this was like 10+ years ago lelz) :(
