Restoring the Factory Default Settings
The Factory Default tab allows you to reset the ReadyNAS 2100 device back to its factory default
state.
Back up the data and configuration information that you wish to keep prior to using this option.
If you select this option, you are asked to confirm the command by typing: FACTORY.
Configuration Backup
Backup and restore ReadyNAS configurations to preserve settings to safeguard the configurations
or to replicate settings onto other ReadyNAS devices. Use the configuration backup to save your
configuration so that if you ever have to reset the unit to its factory default settings, you can simply
restore all your settings from the configuration backup.
Click Backup then Select which category of configuration files to backup, then click the
“Download configuration archive” button to download a zip archive of the requested files. Use the
Restore tab to browse for a configuration backup you would like to restore. You can also use this
feature to replicate a standard configuration across a number of units.
Warning: Resetting to Factory Default erases everything, including data shares,
volume(s), user and group accounts, and configuration information. There is
no way to recover after you confirm this command.
