Skunks, I have the DS412+ at work and it recently got full. Started blinking orange and producing a beeping sound. I was fidgeting around with it and reset it. Reading up a bit about it, I got the Synology Web Assistant to check the two 3TB disks. All looked fine although I suspect one might have crashed. I got the 'Configuration Lost' message. The Wizard suggested that I re-install DSM on the drives. What will be the effect of re-installing DSM? Will I loose all my data? Been looking up this information to no avail. Anyone with an idea?

Eugene, Reinstalling DSM will lead to loss of data. Back it up first. ./bernard On Nov 17, 2014 6:53 PM, "Kakai Eugene via skunkworks" < skunkworks@lists.my.co.ke> wrote:

Dear Eugene, About Synology, Note that all Synology comes with a reset button, that reset Synology Configurations to factory setting. The reason why your NAS shows configuration lost is due to re-format of configurations. FYI, You need to re-install the NAS with the Same firmware or latest firmware. For this re-installation note following. 1. Re-installing firmware does not format the drives 2. By resetting, You already lost configurations ( Network Settings, Users profiles, Any application installed and it's setting ) 3. After re-installing, creating your users afresh, network settings and applications. NB Backup your Synology configuration always.

Bernard, Seems you image not loading but the reset button is a small button, located on the back of every synology device and you need a paper clip pin to press it. On 18 Nov 2014 07:04, "Bernard Mwagiru" <bmwagiru@gmail.com> wrote:

Ok, share your experience. Also re-install same firmware version, then restore dss file you backed up and later upgrade latest DSM. On 18 Nov 2014 07:55, "Bernard Mwagiru" <bmwagiru@gmail.com> wrote:

Skunks, Though I couldn't back up data because I couldn't access the DSM, the upgrade after the reset worked. I didn't loose any data! I lost all configuration settings though which isn't a big deal. Everything is intact though the Synology is really slow because one of the disks is failing.
