Replacing a ReadyNAS Pro
I have an old RNDP6350 (6 bay ReadyNAS Pro Business Edition) and I'd like to know if there's any way to replace the box with a newer 6-bay model and move my 6 drives with data onto the new system wit...
Hi JPP314, as the newer systems RN426, RN526 and RN626 are based on different hardware and run different firmware, I fear the answer is negative.
However, without having a good backup of your data, I would not even dare to try something like you are asking for. So, if you decide to create the backup anyway or have it already you could follow the "classic" approach:
a) backup data from old box
b) insert old disks into new box and format them
c) create the volume according to the RAID-flavour you prefer
d) restore the data to new box.
Kind regards
