I'm replacing a working ReadyNas Duo v1 with an RN422. I'm sure I can recreate the Shares on the new unit and copy data over but is there an easier way? Rsync perhaps?
Yes. Make sure the rsync protocol is enabled for the shares on both NAS. Use the IP address of the Duo instead of the host name.
If you use the "private" home share feature on the Duo, you'll find it easier (though clumsy) to migrate the data with drag/drop. For each user account you'll need to
access the duo with file explorer using the user's credential
copy the share to a PC
create a matching user account on the RN422 with the web jui
Access the RN422 with that same credential
copy the share contents back
Or take the opportunity to copy the share contents into a normal share (using access controls if you want to restrict access).
BTW, you can repurpose your Duo as a backup NAS after you migrate the data (backing up some (or all) shares on the Duo on schedule).
