Hi All

I have a D-Link NAS-345 and I would like to know how I can backup the volume information to a Window 7 PC for disaster recovery.

The file system the NAS uses is EXT4 and I am running 4 HD's in a raid 5.

I had the volume crash on me a few weeks ago and it took me 2 weeks to recover all my data.


Once again I am only look to back up the volume information so if it gets corrupted again I can restore it. I then hope that the raid 5 will do its Job and keep my data safe.

Thanks

Stuart

You should create share and permission for folder. After you open my computer and mapping disk please add path for share and you will see new hard disk with NAS. You can install example Cobian Backup -define files/folder for backup and schedule and localization backup.

Thanks for the response, however I think your solution will only backup my files. I need to backup the volume information. Like the master boot record. From what I understand the volume information holds the partition and file allocation table information.

This is what I need to backup.

Thanks again for your response

Other than backup your data - I assume you already know - you can back up your NAS's configuration with LINUX command - User's (admin) profile
You have to have access to CLI (command line interface)
If Dlink does not give you the access to CLI then time to look for other NAS, if a backup/store configuration a must

There are many NAS has back up and restore configuration....

Last week one of my client have router issue and his NAS has corrupted data, he does not have backup configuration file, but with access to shell command we was able to get back every single file (14TB volume) with less than 15 command lines
