Dear All

I have never upgraded synology NAS before, so I would like to ask before I go ahead to upgrade.
I would like to upgrade to latest DSM 4.2 from 2.3. Is it possible?

If it is not possible, what firmware in between should I upgrade to??
Generally, I would like to double confirm that my data (files) are safe during & after upgrade.

Thank you in advance for your help.

What you need to check is whether the DSM update will break the installed app inside your control panel.
