Write down the drive configuration (number of drives, RAID, LVM, etc.) of the Buffalo NAS device whose settings
were saved. Make sure that any Buffalo NAS devices that you apply these settings to have the exact same drive
configuration before you apply the settings. If the drive configuration is different, you may get unexpected results.
Also, make sure the USB memory device to save settings to is compatible with USB 3.2 Gen 1/3.1 Gen 1/3.0
