ReadyNAS NV+ Data Migration
Further to my initial thread https://community.netgear.com/t5/Using-your-ReadyNAS/Readynas-nv-reset-battery/m-p/1034087/highlight/false#M101865
Once I'm in a position to can anyone please advise on the following ?
Using this method with my 3x ReadyNAS NV+'s
Can I use my one currently working ReadyNAS NV+ to migrate the data from the each of the 3 in turn to my new RN31400's ?
Thanks in advance for any help and advice

You should be to migrate from the NV+ left standing.
After you get the new NAS running, create and run backup jobs for each share on the existing NV+. I generally run the backups on the destination machine, but it doesn't really matter.
Assuming all the NV+ are using the same firmware, then the next step is to powerdown the NV+, and insert the disks from one of the dead machines into the same slots, and then boot it up. Then create/run backup jobs for those shares. Repeat until done...
Owner/group defaults have different UID/GIDs on OS6, so you should reset share permissions on the target when you are done.
If you use home shares, those are a bit more complicated.

Hi,
Thanks for the info', hopefully it will all be straight forward tho' a touch time consuming.
I'll probably configure the 2x new NAS's in a similar manner to the way the old ones were, only 2 users overall anyway at the moment, so easy to replicate.
Then just do a straight copy of the data over.
Fingers crossed it is a case of being just as easy as said, these things tend to be "easier said than done" :-(
Thanks !
Hi robmorris77,
Just a piece of advice, you may also want to consider using local rsync backup (which is faster) between your systems to save time in copying your data.
Kind regards,
