ReadyNAS NV+ (SPARC) Migrate Data to ReadyNAS RN524X00
In June 2007 I purchased ReadyNAS NV+ (from Infrant) and it has been running non-stop for the last 11 years. Only powered down about twice a year for cleaning. It has been a reliable workhorse, never any issues. Holds archived media files. Still running strong. Today I purchased the ReadyNAS RN524X00, loaded four new Seagate IronWolf Pro 12 TB drives. Can anyone recommend best way to migrate the 4.5 TB of data from the NV+ to the RN524X?
Hi Mvone2
Welcome to the Community!
There are a few ways where you can transfer the files from your NV+ to RN524X but Ithink the best way provided that your NV+ is still running fine would be to create a RSYNC backup job. Here is an article about this setup.
Other ways would be to transfer to a USB drive that can accommodate most of your data and transfer it to your new NAS.
Hope this helps!
Regards

Thank you Mark_V, I am familiar with RSYNC as I use it regularly for offsite backup. It is slow, but has been reliable. Thank you for the article link, I somewhow missed it in my search, very helpful.
Marc_V,
If your still there... Or anyone else, all went well and very smooth using RSYNC as you recommended, thank you. How do I similarly transfer the user home shares? Would appear to be a different process.
Thank you,
Mark
How many users do you have roughly that use home shares?
