2.6 Migrating from Old NAS

Users can migrate their QNAP NAS to another Turbo NAS model with all the data and

configuration retained by simply installing 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 different hardware design, the NAS will automatically check if a firmware update

is required before system migration. After the migration has finished, all the settings and

data will be kept and applied to the new NAS. However, the 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.

The NAS models which support system migration are listed below.

Note:

The destination NAS should contain enough drive bays to house the hard drives of

the source NAS.

Users are encouraged to use only HDDs that are compatible with the QNAP NAS

before system migration, or data may be inaccessible. For the compatibility list,

please refer to http://www.qnap.com/compatibility.

SS-x39 and SS-469 Pro series support only 2.5-inch hard disk drives.
