Migrating TM backup from USB drive to ReadyNAS
I'm a new owner of a ReadyNAS NV+ and what I'm trying to do is move an existing TimeMachine backup from an external drive to the ReadyNAS. I've searched the forum and seen the page at http://www.re...
A few days later, everything seems to be working just fine. The wife's real happy with having the old backups around, though at some point I'll probably clean that stuff up. She says thanks for your help too (but somehow still expects me to plug in the scanner that replaced the drive - sheesh!).
I just added a third 1TB drive to double the effective storage capacity. That was a nice experience - real easy and it didn't take too long to re-sync the drive (about 3 hours - maybe because I don't have a lot of data on the NAS yet) and set it up so new TM backups will have a larger max capacity - I set them to 1024MB (1TB) since that's big enough for everyone's drive but the iMac, and at some point I'll re-do that.
