migrating from a Pro6 (OS4) to a 516 (OS6)
Hi, I have a problem, I have a client with a venerable ReadyNAS Pro6 in situ and wants it replaced. I went with a ReadyNAS 516 hoping the migration between the two would be realitively simple (hey ! both readyNAS and surely clients are expected to migrate to newer models - right ?) The system has many shares configured (around 45) The system has many users configured (around 40) The system groups users into 6 groups Authentication is by username and password so .... we buy a 516, do a confguration export from the Pro6 (running OS4) and attempt to import it into the 516 (running OS6) it doesn't like this - basically loses most accounts !!!! trying to restore the share structure is even worse ! Is there a way to migrate share structures, permissions/settings and user/group data between OS4 and OS6 without having to burn a large amount of time manually re-entering everything ? Thanks in Advance, Mark
