Move disks from Duo V2 to RN314
Hello, I would like to know if it is possible to move the disks from my old ReadyNAS Duo V2 to the new RN314. Thanks!
Unfortunately not. The units use different OSs and different file systems.
Best way to do it would be to buy new disks for the 314 and transfer the data from the duo to the new volume on the 314.
If you don't want to get new disks then you'll need another copy of all the data.
Do you have a backup of the data on the duo?
If so, make sure it's current and intact. Then you can insert the duo disks into the 314 and factory default.
Then copy the data from the backup onto the 314.
The latter method does leave you exposed with only a single copy of the data for a while though, I would not recommend it if the data is irreplaceable.
