It was the firmware “only”, that had somehow experienced something strange and hard to reconstruct.
The data were still on there, just the firmware set-up got to get re-established, no big deal – but I was really worried, until I knew that for sure.
Of course, if I had kept all my NASs in sync, I would not have had to worry. And that’s not really that hard to achieve. Most of the time I have at least cheap and fast Internet access “from dawn to dusk”, ie. in my accomodation. So if I keep to my personal priorities:
- keep in touch with the kid, keep it entertained
- back up my data often, keep the NASs in sync
- Triathlon exercise
- …
That shouldn’t really ever happen. But you know, how things are going …
- nice conversations keep you up
- all the other high priorities (and last not least profane work, the bread&butter jobs) simply leave you exhausted
