Hello all. Long time reader of this forum, but never had reason to post. Not yet a fun_plug user, still on stock firmware, but I'm in desperate need of help now.
We got caught in the "Great Power Outage" that just hit everything in SoCal from Orange County to Baja to Arizona. Even with solar power on the house and a big UPS, I wasn't able to get home in time to shut down the DNS-323 before power went away.
After power was restored, the DNS-323 was restarted and seems to have lost its configuration. I'm terrified of trying to reconfigure it because I don't want to do any damage to the data there - some of it was not yet backed up. I know, bad practice, and I'll be changing my setup and habits going forward, but the fact of the matter remains, I need that data. Nobody was home, so there were no in-process writes, so far as I know. Not sure why the configuration went away.
The device was previously configured RAID1, so I should have two copies of the data on-disc. I guess I could pull one drive then try to reconfigure the DNS-323 with the other inserted, but I'd guess the safer route is to just pull one drive and put it into a PC. I'm worried that repeating the RAID setup, etc. will blow away data or partitions, etc.
I've seen some people recommend Linux_Reader or other EXT2/3 reader with windows.
I'll keep searching this forum, but any advice would be MUCH appreciated.
Thanks!!

More info:
OK, the configuration apparently isn't 100% reset? I realized after thinking about it that it still recognizes my administrator login... However upon opening the web page it wants to walk me through the RAID setup procedure. Hope this doesn't mean the disks are wiped....
Have bought a new drive to copy the data to, formatting it now. Have downloaded Linux_Reader and installed. Will attempt to copy data when I can. Still looking for any advice.
Thanks!
