I think that I need more info on a dedicated NAS: Searches only return lists of RAID devices that have bays into which one places a drive … Where are the instructions for setting up access to the NAS ..? MDP

Thanks, very much, for this info … And, yes, we do have backups (primarily iDrive, but we also have others, which sync with each other) ;)
