Close web-interface during factory restore?

Hi everybody,

At this moment I started a full factory restore, which also means a rebuild of the RAID-array and could take up to (and over) 40 hours. Doe anyone know (for sure!) if I can close my browser during this process? I know that this is not possible when doing a firmware upgrade. I wondered how this is when doing a factory restore. Please advise. Many thanks in advance!

Greetz,

You can close the browser.  I kept checking mine by going to the ip address in a web browser.  Each time it had a progress screen and I would close out each time.
