Hi,
in my TES-1885U (firmware 2.0.0.0966) when I check for new firmware it's says that it's up to date, why firmware 2.1 is not proposed?
Do you think I have to proceed with manual installation?
Thanks in advance
firmware 2.1 not available in Live Update

Re: firmware 2.1 not available in Live Update
Because someone at Qnap haven't enabled 2.1 for automatic updates. It's not uncommon that there's a delay (hours, days or sometimes even a week) before that happen.
Well if you want it before Qnap enable it, that's your only option.Do you think I have to proceed with manual installation?
RAID have never ever been a replacement for backups. Without backups on a different system (preferably placed at another site), you will eventually lose data!
A non-RAID configuration (including RAID 0, which isn't really RAID) with a backup on a separate media protects your data far better than any RAID-volume without backup.
All data storage consists of both the primary storage and the backups. It's your money and your data, spend the storage budget wisely or pay with your data!

Thanks for your answer.
I'm in no hurry to install 2.1, I just wondering why 2.1 has been released since May 2019 and it's not yet available as Live Update.

I'm not at all updated on QES releases as I'm only running QTS but either somebody forgot or they have a specific reason for holding it back. The only way to know is probably to ask Qnap.
