I have been using a Thecus N2100 for a few years now and it has been very reliable as a backup solution. However, just recently, I have been unable to access the folders on the drive. When logging in through the browser, I get a message that says "System under maintenance". I'm not sure what this means or what to do in order to reaccess the files. I don't really want to re-format as I am sure to loose information.
Any help would be much appreciated. Many thanks, Pauline
Many thanks for your suggestion. I had actually already tried that and had no luck.
I pretty much figured that my HDD must be dead and brought it to be checked out. My fears were comfirmed.
I refreshed my NAS with two new drives but still had the problem.
I had to download the Thecus setup wizard again from their website and run it. Even then, I still had problems.
In order to fix all issues, I had to reset the box to its factory settings and restart the whole process. It's up and running again now, so I'll keep my fingers crossed.

go to fajo.de for the various firmware versions, most of which Thecus no longer even make available for download (I have been doing this research due to a power surge last week...).
Malfunction of input circuit: voltage delivered is too low. The batteries may
be faulty or depleted. Wait for a few hours, leave the UPS switched on
If absence of input power (utility failure, maintenance work) is expected to last longer than a few hours, switch
off the UPS to save battery power. If the UPS input power is absent for several days and the UPS remains on
under no-load conditions, the batteries can be discharged very deeply, resulting in a short battery life time
Open the Windows Explorer where you see the drives. Find the System properties Ribbon (under Files, Edit, etc,) On the left, at the bottom you see Maintenance. Click the link to open the Maintenance Center. Look for Backup.
when it was new it was a good reliable car, however it is now nearly 20 years old and over 90% of its model year siblings have long ago met the junkyard. at age 10 things start needing replacement on all cars, so if the thing was owned by a person who did all that maintenance, then maybe it has a few more years of use left in it, if not then avoid it. if it has an automatic transmission, stay away unless you are sure it has been rebuilt at least once.
That is a main problem with the analog systems. Just not reliable as the new digital systems. To my best knowledge there is only one manufacturer making the 100% digital steam generators.
Try turning the unit off for a little while, unplug it from the source even. afer about 5 minutes plug it back in and try it again. You may have a bad battery, how old is the unit. UPS batteries should be changed out every 3 year's, max every 5 year's if you want good reliability. At 5 years you are taking a chance.
