Moving data off remote share onto local storage

Featured Replies

Hi, 

 

I am currently using "Unassigned Devices" plugin to map a remote share to an older QNAP NAS. I am in the process of moving the data off the old NAS onto my Unraid data share, the problem I am facing is that I don't see any option to do bulk move actions. If I multi-select and choose the Move action, it's only including the first selection. 

 

There must be a better way to do this, but I was not able to locate anything when searching. On the QNAP side, I'm not confident that it could handle the move from local > Unraid (failing disk, terrible spec hardware)

Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

Are you using the built-in Dynamix File Manager to move files?

@trurl Yes I believe it's just the built-in Dynamix.. But I also have Unbalance installed, so I'm not sure if that replaces the default explorer or just adds the features for disk management. Log is attached. Thank-you!

I'm not sure

Dynamix allows you to browse to folders and files on your server and work with them from the webUI.

 

Unbalanced allows you to setup tasks to move files between disks and then run those tasks.

 

Neither of these affect the other, or do anything on their own "behind the scenes".

 

Unbalanced only works with assigned disks so can't help with your other server.

 

Where do you want to put the files on your Unraid server?

They are moving to disk3/TV Shows from the remote SMB connection. I guess I can queue them all one by one, It will be a pain but doable.

From command line you could use rsync

It seems like you should be able to do it in Dynamix File Manager but I haven't tried it.

I've certainly moved multi-selected within my Unraid server.

You're right, I feel like an idiot.. I was using the line item action to move, instead of scrolling to the bottom of the file list and pressing the big 'Move' button..🤦‍♂️Classic case of PEBKAC
I appreciate your help though!
