migrating from a Pro6 (OS4) to a 516 (OS6)
Hi, I have a problem, I have a client with a venerable ReadyNAS Pro6 in situ and wants it replaced. I went with a ReadyNAS 516 hoping the migration between the two would be realitively sim...
Ouch !!! That is so massively painful !!!
So I have to recreate all shares
recreate all users
recreate all groups
recreate all security settings for each user/group
ask all users on the system to take a default password and set their own (or set passwords for them)
setup all backup jobs again
..... and then migrate the data across (which is the easy bit)
there is no migration tool or assistance ?
Wow !!!!
So when upgrading OS's with ReadyNAS units we should budget for many hours of manual data re-entry !!!!
There has to be a better way - surely ? this is an SME targetted NAS !?!!

Apologies for the disbelief and shock ..... but the decision to Upgrade the back end storage of the office is now going to cost a great deal more time, angst and energy than expected :-(
