OK - below is a re-jigged workflow based on how I have had to do it. Our internet upload speed is slow so I am still only part way through the cloud server sync.
- set up NAS #1 with users and shares.
- setup office cloud with NAS #1
- Copy over data from old readynas (using backup function in frontview) to NAS #1 elc\shared folder
- start process of syncing ~50gb data to the cloud
- setup NAS #2 with same users and shares as NAS #1
- setup office cloud on NAS #2
- copy over data to NAS #2
- move NAS #2 to second office
Rather than letting the NAS sync 35gb+ of data once the files are copied onto the NAS should I use FTP to copy files to the cloud server?
Although this post suggest not to use FTP with local cloud sync: https://helpdesk.egnyte.com/entries/58830-ftp-file-upload-how-do-i-ftp-files-to-my-account
If I was to use FTP would I temporarily stop the sync process and use ftp?
