Migrating timemachine from ReadyNAS NVX to new 214
1) I already backuped all shares from ReadyNAS NVX to 214. How can I proceed with the time machine sparsebundles? I have SSH access to all devices and I know where to copy the sparsebundle files. U...
You could start a test backup for each user to see what the ownership/permissions should look like on the new NAS then stop the backup, remove the backup sparsebundle using SSH, disable Time Machine on the new NAS and copy the data across and setup ownership/permissions correctly.
As far as the NAS is concerned the sparsebundle is a directory.
Thank you very much for your answer. Good Idea to check the ownership/permissions first.
Maybe you can give me a hint, how I can copy the file from NAS to NAS. As far as I know there is no way to use the administration setup to enable NFS for the timemachine share.
I only have googled a way to copy via shh and tar:
ssh user@host 'cd ; tar -cvf - .' | tar -xvf -
but I don't know if this is working for directories (sparsebundle ) as well.
Thanks, Thomas
