So here’s the issue: This NAS is touted as a data backup repository. Backups, even from multiple computers, are a snap to set up with the provided Acronis software.
BUT - when I make RECOVERY media (to a USB drive) and try to see the NAS (using a Dell XPS 8940 - Gen 10 i7, 8GB RAM, Killer E2600 NIC card) it’s invisible. This means that all that work dutifully backing up to a NAS is useless (or less useful; one could connect a USB drive to the NAS or another, working, computer and do the recovery locally, I suppose). The culprit appears to be the lack of the NIC card driver on the recovery media, and not a lot of ways to put it there. HELP!!!
Update: There’s a workaround. Seems that making a custom recovery drive and ADDING THE DRIVER - COMPLETE FOLDER CONTAINING .INF AND .SYS FILES - FOR YOUR NETWORK ADAPTER will help. For me, it still didn’t display the NAS. I was able to type in the IP address 2 backslashes before and one after (I believe NetBIOS name with same slashes will also work) where it says “file name” and it then showed the shares. Still, I believe the NAS is supposed to signal somehow “I am a NAS” on the network and be recognized as such, and my MyCloud doesn’t do that…
