Moving Within Ultra-6?
I just created a new share "OriginalRips" via the web browser interface.
I am now Windows drag/drop Moving 1.6 TB of data from another share to the new share.
i.e. I want that data on it's own share.
But Windows' Move progress dialog is telling me "About 1 day remaining".
Seems excessive - but I guess all that data has to go over my home LAN, through my Windows PC, and back up the the Ultra-6.
The Question:
Is there a way to do this directly within the Ultra-6?
i.e. I log in to to some sort of interface on the Ultra-6 and tell it to do the deed itself.
Not a huge deal... I can wait...
But if there is something that can do it in an hour or so there would be less exposure to the messiness that could result from Windows abending, the dreaded Windows Update forcing a reboot, or even a reboot just because of user RCI.

- You can log into frontview (https://nasipaddress/admin and create a backup job to copy the data. That will be much faster.

Worked pretty well.
One caveat for anybody else following this: make sure your box has enough space for the duplicated files.
Of course I was oblivious to that consideration, so the backup failed partway through because the Ultra-6 ran out of space.
All-in-all, though I would call it a success.
