Comment on Migrating a Synology NAS to a UniFi UNAS Pro 8 with Robocopy, SMB Multichannel

Comments

Starting with robocopy is nuts. I'd have started with rsync and just let it run overnight. The peace of mind that it'd do the right thing and not needing to research flags are more than worth any speed tradeoffs.

I recently migrated from a synology to a diy nas, 8to to transfer, did it through rsync, took a few days but it ended up working nice.

What software are you running on your DIY NAS?

TrueNAS, I have really mixed feelings about it. It's ok but the company behinds it start to do not great stuff

I understand where you might be coming from but: robocopy SOURCEPATH DESTPATH /mir /r:1 Is pretty easy to remember.
