Migrating ReadyNAS Duo to RN102
It's been a while. Sigh. So, my trusty old sparc box needed an update - it's still going strong but is just too slow by today's standards so I bought a RN10200 and a couple of Seagate 2Tb (yes I'm on...
It's a bit faster to reorganize on the duo, and then do share-by-share backup to the RN102. Shares are subvolumes on the RN102, so moves between shares become copy/deletes. Also if snapshots are enabled, they also can start taking up space.
So maybe create the folders on the duo that you ultimately want, then access the duo's C volume (\\nasip\C with NAS admin credentials), and shuffle the files around. Then use share-by-share backups to get them onto the RN102. Drag/drop works, but all the data is copied through the PC.
Thanks, I suppose the new structure makes better sense from the permissions and services pov but I will just migrate the one share as you suggest for now. If I did want to move all my Music, for example, into the music share after I've got it backup copied into the media share on my RN102, is there any better way than just dragging and dropping from folder to folder?
