Migrating disks from DEAD Ultra6+ to my new 516

My Ultr6+ died, but the data on the disks is fine. I purchased a new 516 per support, so that I can migrate the disks from the Ultra6+ (NO BACKUP) to the 516.

 

I have been trying to get an expert on the online support chat but have been on hold forever and a day :-D

 

Are there directions somewhere for me to follow to do this migration proceedure? I have searched the forums without luck.

 

Thank you!!!

  • Yes. You will need somewhere to copy the data to. If you need 6 more disks to get that much/more space that is what you will need.

    The process requires Netgear's help via remote-access.  It also requires that you have enough storage to copy the data (it is not in-place).

      I purchased an diskless 516, do I need to get 6 more disks with the same or more space?
