Hi,
I've setup my new OMV installation and attempting to move my data from my old Windows server to my OMV NAS. The servers are connected to the same Wifi Bridge. My current transfer speed is slow, 11MB/s. I'm looking at about 10TB's to move. I can't really do much to alleviate the speed issues with the network.
What are my options? The best methods?
- Map shares and XCopy from Windows to OMV? Does this bypass any permissions issues that may arise?
- FTP from Win to OMV? I've started doing this but I'll get random permissions issues. It's odd, but I figure it's faster than via Windows Explorer.
- RSync? It really doesn't seem like it's designed for a one time move and the directory/share structure is different on the new machine. I don't want it trying to sync back to the old Win machine.
- HotSwap? New OMV has hotswap drive bays. Should I remove the HDD's from the old machines, plug them in, and mount them to copy? Will there be any potential issues like NTFS permissions or hoops to jump through? I'm a bit rusty and unclear on all of the mappings of the directories via SSH to make sure I issue the proper folder mappings using CP commands.
- Are there any other options I'm missing?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
