2.6 Migrating from Old NAS
Users can migrate their existing NAS to another NAS model with all the data and
configuration retained by simply installing all the hard drives of the original (source) NAS
on the new (destination) NAS according to its original hard drive order and restart the
NAS.
Due to differing hardware designs, the new NAS will automatically check if a firmware
update is required before system migration. After the migration has finished, all of the
settings and data will be retained and applied to the new NAS. However, system settings
of the source NAS cannot be imported to the destination NAS via "System
Administration" > "Backup/Restore Settings". Configure the NAS again if the settings were
lost.
Topics covered in this chapter:
1. NAS models that support system Migration
2. NAS models that DO NOT support system migration
3. Disk Volumes Supported for System Migration
