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.

models are powered off. NAS models that support system migration are listed below.
