Main Question: should I upgrade from DSM 6.1 to 6.2.
I have read patch notes and don't see a lot that I think affects me but a lot never really gets mentioned - SMB/NFS performance changes etc. So I thought I'd ask before investing the time and risk :).
I gather I'll have to build a new USB with loader, but am unsure if I can then just update the DSM and retain settings/data or if the entire system has to be reconstructed? Is a full backup of data advised or essential?
it's been a while since I've been on the forum - about a year.... with many months in hospital and I feel a lot dumber for the drugs I've been on :/. So go easy with the answers for my undoubtedly dumb questions to follow 😝
The MVP's here gave me huge assistance with my first build and it's been running nicely with Jun's Loader ver 1.02b (DSD3617xs) and .
I'm on Bare Metal and all working well.
I had to do some messing around to get root access and a few things..... but otherwise it was reasonably straight forward.
Usage:
media storage, backup of devices at home performed daily.
General files for access across all devices in home
Local backup of this NAS to DS1812+ using Hyperbackup (key data but not all) performed weekly

Hi,
Main Question: should I upgrade from DSM 6.1 to 6.2.
