Easiest Way to Copy Content OFF The NAS?
I'm selling my NAS as I was using it for storage for my media server but I've decided to build a new media server and have the storage within the server itself so save desk space. I've plugged in a...
6.5.1
And for now I'm just copying and pasting directly from the NAS onto an 3TB HDD plugged into it via a docking station which I formatted beforehand as NTFS so it can go into the server once it's done (in 3 days time or so LOL) Once copying is done, I'll put the 3TB with the content I copied over into my new media server, then format the old drive that was in the NAS as NTFS so it can be used in Windows as a fresh 3TB drive (as my old one is full anyway)

If you are dragging/dropping from a PC or mac, then your content is shipped over the network (NAS->PC) and then shipped back again (PC->NAS). It would be faster to set up a local backup job on the NAS.
Also, I would update to ReadyNAS OS 6.5.2 which is now available!
