Migrating selected data from Sparc (Duo V1) to x86 (312):
As per title. Would anyone have a recommendation for a guide (or other tools) for someone in my situation? I'm guessing it all involves some rsync action and I'm ok with command line stuff but...

Thanks. Duo only has one user - admin - so I don't *think* I'm using homeshares option.
If you were, you'd have data in an "admin" folder on the NAS.
Is there a newbies guide for Rsync? I'm looking at : http://kb.netgear.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/29929/~/readynas-os-6%3A-setting-up-a-backup-job-with-rsync-over-ssh
Should I be looking to pull data from the 312? or push from the Duo?
You don't need rsync-over-ssh for this - just ordinary rsync.
I'd pull data from the RN312.
Just enable rsync on the duo (for each share).
Create the corresponding shares on the RN312
Create a backup job on the RN312, with a remote source and local destination.
Specify the IP address of the duo as the source host, and the sharename as the source path. Select the destination sharename from the pulldown.
Try "test connect" and then run the backup.

THanks for your help.
I'm now in the middle of this migration using RSYNC.
A few thoughts:
1) It's really slow. Speeds in RN312 show things topping out at 5-6MB/s (under System>Performance (Network). But the network isn't entirely gigabit so perhaps to be expected? The files I'm moving are mostly approx 1GB.
2) I forgot to enable Rsync on the shares on the RN312 (I enabled it as a general service on the RN312). But I guess this doesn't really matter in the direction I'm going. Am I correct? The jobs seemed to work OK.3) An odd one. On the RN312 I put the wrong password in under the SOURCE for the backup (ie I didn't put the correct password in for the DUO). However, it still seems to connect on the test connection and the backup works ok. How come?

The network might be a factor, but you are also limited by the duo's CPU. Performance would likely be faster with NFS or Windows/SMB. I favor rsync because it is robust, though it is is not the fastest for full backup.

Thanks.
Sorry I added a third point (see above).
Am I correct in thinking that if I don't have users/passwords set up on rsync of Duo drives, then it doesn't matter what is put in the login/password box under SOURCE on the RN312?
