Default Re: Mirror Orphan Repair on 2200 gone wrong. Help Please

Well you still have all your data on the removed drive, which is good.
Did you verify the drives were addressed correctly? (co de info)
Once I have the drives as seperate shares I like avoiding the debug cmds and use the web interface. I may add a foot note to the wiki.

In order to make a clone of the snap's hd the program must be capable of doing a RAW copy. Ghost likes to inturpet the data and normally does not work unless use use the RAW option. A RAW cmd will copy the HD sector by sector. I have not tested the new v10 so I can't confirm this on the newer version. DD allows you to send to network drives. But you must have full HD space. You can not view the data, with any program. But you have a full backup of the drive, which can be restored to any HD the same size or larger. The smallest HD must be in the 10000 loaction, the raid size is based on this drive.

If the drives were the same size or the source is smaller you can use dd to clone the drive. Most mfg have utilities to adjust the HD size. Most programs do not preform a clone if the drives are not the same size. I know dd live cd is this way. So you must use the cmd line. I use dd for normal full backup to my nas.

I wish the smaller 2 drive units would auto resync like their larger brothers, but they do not.

I have not worked with AD so I can't help you there. Have you tried accessing it using the IP address? It should prompt for a ID & PW, use admin for full control. FTP read speeds are close to 8.5MB/sec. There was a post on how to backup permisions. But this is a S2S backup.


Well I just checked the wiki and someone wiped out all of the snap specific FAQ's I posted. So at this time I'm checking with Joe to see if he can restore them. The problem with letting every one have edit privileges and not knowing what they are doing. So I may do some major changes to what is in the Snap wiki section. I have a backup, but I'm a little teed off right now.
