migration

Hi Forum, Apologies if this has been covered before and my searching abilities suck. I have a single Disk containing "Volume 2" as a destination for Shared Folder SnapShot Replication from (RAIDed) "Volume 1" with a bunch of history on it which I now want to migrate to a new and larger...

For those who lived through the migration from DSM 5 to 6, how does it compare to the 6 to 7 move? Ease of migration. Users confidence and enthusiasm. Bugs encountered. Gained (or lost) features—was it a bigger jump (features and improvements) from 5 to 6? And of course, how “streamlined” was...

Hello First post and a little help if i may. I’ve had my NAS since 2016 but only used for Timemachine, music and movie storage. I was at the stage where I needed to pay for more iCloud storage and looked at the mess of a folder structure on my MAC that Apple Photo had created over the years...

Hi all New to forums so a big hi all round Looking for help opinions on a bit of a dilemma I have presented myself with. I currently run a ds414 which I eagerly upgraded to dsm 7 only use it fir storage of media files and such so no real 3rd party apps in use. I have now ordered myself a...

Hello all, I’m laying my plans out for moving from a ds1815+ to a ds1821+. My first question (and probably a dumb one) is, if I link two ports on each box to a managed 8-port switch will it speed up the transfer of data or is it still dependent on the router (the one cable from the switch to the...

Hi, I'm migrating from DS220j (2x4T SHR1) to DS920+ (4x4T SHR2). I'm just curious how long it's supposed to take. I moved 1st disk from DS220 to the new DS920 and added 3 new disks. Then I Repaired SHR1 - it took about a day. Then, I changed SHR1 to SHR2 and it takes ages. It runs 0.008% per...

Context & Physical Setup: I’m trying to migrate my DS1813+ to a DS1515+ using Migration Assistant The destination has 2x the storage capacity as the source Each device is connected to my main network using its LAN1+LAN2 bonded, or just LAN1 (respectively). Those connections are working great...

I'd like to ask the collective experience : I want to upgrade my DS916+ to a new DS920+ No change of HDDs, I just want to take the existing HDDs and move them to the new NAS. (Like I would if my current NAS breaks and I have to do an emergency-replacement of the broken NAS with existing HDDs)...

Well I’m finally replacing my well aged DS412+ with the DS1621+. The current DS412 is Ext4 and I’m going to be using BTRF on the new NAS. That being said I need to migrate about 8TB from old to the new and I’m dreading copying 8TB. What are the best options for a speedy migration? I fear the...

Hi I apparently didn't research all of this thoroughly enough because I've had 1 issue after another... First off I attempted to the use DS920+'s migration software which kinda sorta worked but rather than move both drives out of the DS216J, I only removed one to keep the other in a "safe...

Hello, On my previous NAS DS412+ I have a Hyper Backup configured backing up files from a file share to Azure storage. Recently I upgraded to a new DS420+ with new HDD. I copied all the data to the new NAS. Is it possible to transfer the Hyper Backup job to the new NAS and link this with the...

Hi all, I’m moving from 214Play running DSM7 to a new NAS, planning to use the same disks. Data is non critical, so I now, I’ve been a bad guy messing with betas. :cool: I have a couple of doubts though. - Can I just move the disks from that DSM7 into new fresh DSM 6.x? (I think the answer is...

I've read multiple threads and guides on the topic - still creating a post to make sure I got the procedure right, especially as there are multiple steps on volume setup and adjustment! :) Scenario: - upgrading from a super-old DS214Play to a new DS920+. The old NAS will be shut down at the end...

Dear All, Longtime reader, first time poster here. First of all, thank you all for this incredible resource. It is so nice to find such a trove of useful tips on the interwebs. I ran a few searches to avoid posting a dupe but it seems that although some people are in my situation, very few...

Hi to all, my first post on this Forum :) I would like to migrate one HDD (8 TB) from a DS118 model to DS116 model. Is there a specific procedure to do this harmlessly? Someone among you has done this kind of migration already? Thanks to all for reply. Greetings from Italy.

I have a DS918+ with 4 HDD's that I want to transfer over to my new RS1219+. When I first hooked up the RS1219 and went to synology's "find me" website, it found the NAS, but wouldn't let me proceed with installation because I didn't have any drives installed. Aside from the 4 drives I want to...

I'm going to be transitioning my 2Tb drives from my DS918+ to an RS1219+. I have read through synology's migration tutorials and it looks relatively simple. I'm going to make sure to backup my configuration as well as hyperbackup the whole system. I do have several questions: 1. It says to...

When moving files to an extern SSD is also necessary to move the recycle? Does this affects other files if it's not copied? We need to move files from an old Syno to a new one and we need to load them on an SSD. The files in the #recycle folder are not needed anymore so I suppose we don't need...

Hello together I will replace the aging DS411+ with a DS920+. After reading through some manuals and articles I still have some questions about the migration. There is no migration wizard for the DS411+, so this option is dropped. The goal would be to transfer the configuration (data, user...

Hi I am a relative Newbie. I have setup my DS718+ and it is perfect except for it being only 2 bay. I have a DX517 expansion unit and had put in 2 drives there. I use Surveillance Station, PLEX and use Synology Drive, DS Audio, and Photos. The setup is running nicely. I can move the DS718+...
