Trnsferring lots of data from QNAP NAS to Unraid

[dikkiedirk]

What would be the easiest and safest way without compromising data inegrity to move data from a Qnap, or other brand, NAS to my unraid server.

 

I prefer a "set and forget" method.

I used to use rsync with the scheduling app on the QNAP.  However, in the recent firmware updates for the TS-859 Pro, it no longer allows you to specify a path directly.  Not sure if this would be the case with all models however.

Assuming you have an intermediate PC you can use, I'd simply set up backup profiles using a good synchronization utility => SyncBack, SyncToy, Replicator, etc.

 

This will work fine regardless of whether you're looking at a one-time copy of all the data;  or a periodically updated synchronization.    If the latter, you can set a scheduled task to keep it update on a regular basis.

Is there any good sync util for linux like SyncBack ? Otherwise an option would be to run SyncBack it from a VM ?

There are some Linux synchronization utilities, but I still prefer SyncBack.   I'd simply run that from a Windows VM.
