AKD / AKD2G Backup and Restore Compatibility
The replacement AKD / AKD2G must have the same model number as the device that was originally stored in the backup.
- All AKD drives must have the same firmware version for the Backup and Restore to work.
- The Restore operation compares the model numbers between the backup and the replacement AKD.
- Restore is not allowed if they are not compatible.
-
- The AKD-Pxxxxx-NB and AKD-Pxxxxx-NC models are functionally compatible with, and may be replaced with, AKD-Pxxxxx-ND devices provided the backup contains AKD firmware version v01-22-00-000 and later.
