New Server - Moving files from old OMV 4 server

scottct1 · Jun 3rd 2020

Just built a brand new OMV 5 server with 10 TB of space. Old server is a PMV 4 server with 2 TB of space.

Whats the easiest and fastest way to cope the data over from the old server to the new (without taking the drives out of the old server)

Thanks!

If you don´t want to connect the old drives to the new server then the speed depends from your network connection surely. You should have a stable gigabit connection between the two servers.

For the copy process you could have a look at the rsync plugin. With rsync a direct connection between both servers is possible.

The easiest way is to copy the data from the old shares to the new ones but not the fastest maybe.
