2.6 System Migration
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.

The destination NAS should contain enough drive bays to house the hard drives of the source
NAS.
SS-x39 series supports only 2.5-inch hard disk drives.
A NAS with encrypted disk volume cannot be migrated to a NAS which does not support file
system encryption. File system encryption is not supported by TS-110, TS-119, TS-210, TS-219,
TS-219P, TS-410, TS-419P, TS-410U, TS-419U, TS-119P+, TS-219P+, TS-419P+, TS-112, TS-212,
TS-412, TS-419U+, TS-412U.
The Multimedia Station, Download Station, iTunes Server, and DLNA Media Server features will be
removed after migrating the non-TS-x79 models to the TS-x79 models. The network shares
Multimedia/Qmultimedia, Download/Qdownload and all the downloaded files will be kept.
The registered MyCloudNAS name on the source NAS will not be moved to the destination NAS
after system migration. To use the same MyCloudNAS name on the destination NAS, change the
MyCloudNAS name on the source NAS before system migration and register the same name on
the destination NAS after the process.
