August 29, 20169 yr My current unraid server is an older box thats starting to really show its age. Its running Unraid 4.7. I've just finished building a new Unraid server downloaded and setup the lastest version of unraid. Now its time to move all my data from my old server to the new one. They are connected on a hardwired lan. Whats the best way to move the data from old to new over the network? I noticed sync is part of the free docker apps but it looks like its setup for torrent work. Thanks for all the help and great support over the years.
August 29, 20169 yr Community Expert You can use rsync like so: rsync -avAXP -e ssh root@source-ip-address:/mnt/user/Source-share/* /mnt/user/Dest-share
August 30, 20169 yr Author why not just move over the hds ? Really not an option new server has 6 sata ports old server has 16 ports and using all 16 drives. You can use rsync like so: rsync -avAXP -e ssh root@source-ip-address:/mnt/user/Source-share/* /mnt/user/Dest-share I'll try this, this will copy the data not move it correct (keeping original data on old server)?

August 30, 20169 yr Author You can use rsync like so: rsync -avAXP -e ssh root@source-ip-address:/mnt/user/Source-share/* /mnt/user/Dest-share Logged into the new server via Telnet and tried to run the command root@UNRAID:~# rsync -avAXP -e ssh [email protected]:/mnt/user/Backups/* /mnt/user/Backups ssh: connect to host 192.168.1.10 port 22: Connection refused rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes received so far) [Receiver] rsync error: unexplained error (code 255) at io.c(226) [Receiver=3.1.0] root@UNRAID:~# How do i enable the connection on my old server? Or how do i add the root password to the command if thats causing the issue?

August 30, 20169 yr Author Google is your friend , first hit for "unRAID 5 SSH" http://lime-technology.com/wiki/index.php/UnRAID5_Plugins thats where the problem came in, my old box is running 4.7. It doesn't run plugins, that i'm aware of.
August 30, 20169 yr Community Expert Sorry, my mistake, didn't notice you're on v4 (why?), upgrade to v5 or v6 or do it another way.
