I have a 10gb fiber network, so transfers will be quick, thats not an issue. Are there certain directories that need to be rsynced over or just do everything? sorry for all the noob questions, I'm use to enterprise SANs, this is my first storage like this

ahh ok, good to know. i didnt know that

Probably not, since the configuration will be different between the 2 systems. I'm going from 10 drives to 4 drives. Outside of that the changes I've made can be redone in a matter of maybe 10 mins

Ok this is odd..I see all the replies on my phone but not my PC.. strange. Yes, I can run both at the same time. I do plan on keeping the old server as a backup location.

Hi sorry for the delay. Yes so the plan is to move my unraid from a dell r620 server with sas drives over to a Intel PC build with sata drives. So I can't just move the drives over to the new build I have 8 docker's and 1 vm along with my file shares data. I want to move everything over to the new build. Just trying to figure out the easiest way to do this.

Hello, I currently have unraid running on an old dell r620 server. I want to move my unraid over to my old streaming PC which is a lot more powerful. I know you can just swap hardware, but in this case the hard drives will not be getting migrated. The only thing that will be moving is the 10Gb fiber card. What's the best way to do this? I'm guessing a backup and restore and if so what's program does everyone suggest. Also with since hard drives will be "missing" how will it handle that? Is that just boot up and than remove those drives?
