[Install two unraid machines on same network]

Hello, I am very new here and have recently been fearing that I am going to be in a bit of trouble.

 

I have a 5 drive unit and it is full of 1.5tb drives. The thing is full of about 4TB of data. My fear is that I am going to lose something big here. What I would like to do is make an exact duplicate of what I have now on another unraid box on the same network.

 

My thought is that I can't have two "Tower" machines without some sort of conflict.

 

Thanks in advance for any help.

[Transfer files to unraid box]

You can use the mv or cp command in a telnet session

Thank you erikatcuse, that is great. Now if there is a way to run a batch of transfers, I will be very happy.

 

THanks,

[Transfer files to unraid box]

OK, this is going to show my ignorance here, but I have to ask.

 

I want to transfer my movie files from the USB drive, which is mounted to unraid, to the array. I can explore the two shared drives on windows XP and transfer that way, but is there a way to telnet in and transfer them directly with in the machine?

 

Again, thanks for any help.

[adding an external usb drive to my raid array]

or... download and install unmenu.  It has the ability to mount and share USB drives built in.

[adding an external usb drive to my raid array]

Hi All,

 

I have an external usb drive that I used for all my divx files and would like to connect it to the unraid tower to transfer them over to the array. Is this possible? I know I can go through the network, but I figure it will go faster this way.

 

Thanks for any advice,
