migration

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+...

Hi, I would like to ask you about some my uncertainties regarding the very close future migration from device DS918+ to DS1621XS+. I am going to migrate from the one device to the another by the exchanging HDD. My actual DS918+ contains in total 4 HDD in the setup of two volumes (volume1 and...

Hi Folks, I am replacing my old DS214play with a DS218+. I have about 1.8TB of data on the old box, mostly music, photos and PC backups. Both boxes are on the same switch on my home network. The only migration method available is Hyperbackup, which I set off over 24 hours ago and it started...

Hi, i'd like to migrate from DS218+ ext4 2x6TB SHR to a DS 718+ BTRFS 2x8TB SHR. I've read a lot and understood that hyper backup doesn't make a 1:1 copy. Does it correct? What is the best way to migrate with Docker (8 Containers) and other Packages that not supported by Hyper Backup? Thank...

I'm moving from a DS212 (my first, and always sentimental favorite NAS) :) to a new DS218+. Storage: DS212: 2x2TB - currently usage is 1.4 TB of 1.8 available DS218+: 2x4TB Based on what I've read so far I'm going to have to use HyperBackup to make the transition, as disk swap and the...

My DS1515+ kicked the bucket 2 months before the warranty was up. Yippee? I received the new unit today and followed the migration instructions (insert drives in order they were previously installed) and received all expected prompts. I last left my NAS at a point where the ~10 minute...

Hi all I recently purchased a DS2419+ that i'm looking to make into a home media server. I have an existing SHR volume on a DS1517+ that I would like to migrate over but am curious about adding in a couple SSD drives in a new storage pool for DSM/ application support. To clarify, i'm...
