Migrating gracefully from ReadyNAS OS4 to OS 6 (Settings, Data)
I have a ReadyNAS Ultra 4 running RAIDiator 4.2.31 , and I am looking to move to a ReadyNAS OS 6 device as gracefully as possible. My current NAS is not damaged or dead, so no emergencies - I just want to minimize the amount of work I need to do to make the move happen. My current plan is to back up all the data onto an external drive, move the drives to the new chassis (which will wipe them), and then restore the data. So far, this part is fine. My question comes down to the settings - if I back up the settings on RAIDiator 4.2.31 (IP, Shares, Users & Security, etc.), can I restore them onto to OS 6 device? Is there another graceful way of migrating all my settings, so that I do not need to re-create them all by hand and reset permissions? Thank you!
