Copy complete home share from one NAS to another?
Hi, What's the recommended way to copy the complete home share (ie all user shares) from one NAS to an other and retain the correct file permissions? Thanks, Sunday Afternoon

Except there is no ability to enable root-privileged hosts for home shares and so this will fail due to permissions issues

Bottom line is there is no way to do this without using SSH access at some point in the data transfer to overcome permissions and/or configuration limitations
