An easy fix might be to install a new recording drive in the backend 
(faster connections are best), suitably formatted (ext4 has been fine 
for me, others have alternative preferences debated on list meaning 
other formats may be preferable), and simply copy the recordings (and 
any other directories) from the remote drive to the new drive. Some 
reconfiguration of drive addressing (backend configuration) would also 
be necessary. Myth may well sort it out on its own from there. Good time 
to also upgrade to a 2TB or 3TB drive?
What is the backend motherboard?
