I would just like to thank Mijzelf for the help here and the past many years. You have been truely kind and dedicated. I have given up on the Zyxels and am replacing them with TerraMasters with OpenMediaVault. I first got an Asustor, but returned it due to its convoluted way of making 'simple' volumes. The TM+PMV…

Backup planner is a default installed app. It's where you can set RSync jobs. At least it didn't initially show any jobs that could have remained from Box A.

yes indeed. I was confused by the menu on the left. I set up a backup job and while it appears that it did run yesterday evening, I can not modify the schedule anymore. Again a 500 error.

Box B is working reasonably well. All shares reestablished and rsync seems to work. However in 'Control Panel'/System/Power gives me the fields visible below but all overlayed with a gray box and 500 Internal Server Error.

I am a special kind of idiot to not find the reset button in the first place. I did a factory reset on Box B and am now installing the drives from Box A one by one. All are basic volumes, so that should be OK. It is working at the moment, except I can't move icons around on the web interface. Weird, but if that is the only…

Box A did have a long uptime. I bought it new ~10 years ago and it has been on 24/7 since. Box B I got second hand about 5 yearrs ago, but it has been turned on only sporadically for backups. So total uptime must be much lower. Box A symptoms do look like a gradual degradation where at some settings started to get lost…

And now my second NAS520 box is devolving to similar state: after a reboot, the web login page accepts default password 1234, shows the dialog to change the password but then goes back to the default anyway and I can't get to any other settings. I didn't attempt any firmware updates on this one, just a reboot. This is not…

It's now gone from not great to pretty bad. I found the archive with the rescue firmware here: http://mijzelf.duckdns.org/zyxel/zypkg-repo/fw5/ But now I can't connect over ethernet at all. There is no beeping, not even when holding the power button for many seconds. I should probably give up? What would be a reasonable…

Worked like a charm!

Thanks! I have looked around and found the name_label. I haven't changed it yet since some other things are still going on, but I'm pretty sure I'll be able to make it work when I get to it.Thanks again!
