Move a share to another volume

I have the "data" volume on my array, and it has 5 shares.  I'd like to move the shares to my new "EDA500" volume.   I can't seem to find a way to do this

  • You cannot move it between volumes.  You can use the internal backup capability to copy the content and then delete the old one and rename the new one to the name of the old one.  Using the internal backup capability will be much faster than using a connected computer because the data will not go across the network (twice).

      Ok, thanks.  It's not perfect, but at least it's less work than what I was contemplating.
