Canon R1 ethernet connectivity issue (wired)

[scottburgess]

Another wrinkle I've figured out on the wired side: on some attempts to make a wired connection through the LAN, the camera reports Er23: "A device with that IP address exists on the network." Clearing the settings in the camera and deleting the camera on the router seems to eliminate this.

As disk densities climb, I'm seeing more errors from stored data and programs and I would like to have some means to address it. As it is, I will have to eventually run some image recovery software on a few hundred old image files when I have the time.

Slightly OT, but this is a hard problem to solve in practice. I once had silent file corruption happen due to a RAM defect, unfortunately I only noticed about a year later that some large files (videos) had large blocks missing. ECC RAM would likely have prevent this.

I had a backup but still lost some files because I had overwritten the it with a newer backup at one point, so I only had the newest corrupt versions backed up.

I've also had various forms of SSD failures (silent block corruption, unreadable files) and several regular HDDs go up in smoke literally and all at once due to a faulty power supply in a NAS RAID.

There are technical solutions like using a filesystem with ECC and checksums, doing append-only delta backups, or some form of managed server. They're viable but require constant work.

But probably the best and most reliable approach for a 1-person business is the one I saw with an older colleague: He bought a new large external drive each month, copied everything 1:1 over from the old drive to the new, and then put the old drive into storage and kept it there. Never reused them, ever. Expensive but bulletproof historical backups. Obviously not an option if you have 10s of TBs but an interesting low-tech approach nonetheless.

I am wondering what OS to use if I do a build. Win11 is officially beyond end of life, with no Win12 in sight (probably not available until next year!). And I don't know if there will be advanced ECC features in the professional or enterprise versions of Win12, but those would be a consideration from my perspective. As disk densities climb, I'm seeing more errors from stored data and programs and I would like to have some means to address it. As it is, I will have to eventually run some image recovery software on a few hundred old image files when I have the time.

Windows 11 is not end of life and won't be for a few more years. Windows 10 becomes EOL in October.

This is an expensive option and it does have the possibility of failure (forget to do it once etc.). If I were to do it this way I would buy 3 disks and simply roll them over every 3 months by cycling through them once per month. Saves a few bucks.

Simply because you made a mistake of writing, "Win11 is officially beyond end of life...," doesn't mean I'd write off everything you say, as you apparently did with me because I wrote "card" rather than "NIC" when asking if you had tried updating firmware.

Days later, still going in circles, have you tried? I build GigaByte and Asus PC's, and I've run into conflicts with AT&T modems--until updating the ethernet firmware. There was an ongoing issue with intel and older ethernet for almost two years, and while this is not squarely on point with your issue, if I had a new R1 with ethernet, I'd want my drivers updated.

Good luck!

"Mainstream support for Windows 11 version 22H2 ends on October 8, 2024." <-- what I was referring to

Yes, the last version 24 goes until 2026. But who wants to load an OS that has so little life?
