July 2, 201016 yr I'm trying to find the best way to move the data on my unRAID NAS to a new QNAP NAS I bought. It supports many technologies: smb, nfs, afp, etc and rsync. Can anyone help me with the best way to copy the files over with the certainty they aren't corrupted or anything? I have both devices plugged into a netgear switch with cat6
July 2, 201016 yr Switch them both on, map your unraid shares to one set of drive letters and your new empty qnap shares to another set. Then use teracopy with verification to copy the data across. It will copy the data and read it back to check the crc of each file matches.

I was trying to avoid a method that involved an intermediate pc - doesn't this cause longer copy times? I have several TBs on data so that is why I am looking for a direct, fast, secure way to do this.
July 2, 201016 yr Log into your unraid machine and rsync across.. Whether or not it saves any time not going through an intermediary will depend on the qnap performance - I have absolutely no idea!

Whether or not it saves any time not going through an intermediary will depend on the qnap performance - I have absolutely no idea! ok, well I guess that is the whole question - how do I do that? I tried to mount the qnap share and couldn't... so I'm stuck there, and no idea how to rsync... some one just mentioned that would be fast and I'd be guaranteed the copy was without errors.
July 4, 201016 yr normally people dont get to excited about helping someone stop using their project smbmount is an easy command that will get you there.
July 5, 201015 yr You can login to your unraid machine (telnet to it's ip address, log in as 'root' and with any password you set for the web interface) and you can then run rsync. The details beyond that will depend alot on how the rsync server on the qnap works. We can't help with that! Do it the easy way and map your unraid to one drive letter and the new qnap share to another and drag and drop (with teracopy installed..) from your desktop. Unless the Qnap has incredibly rapid potential write speeds I doubt you'll see too much of a hit - presuming you're running a gigabit network. If you'd done that originally you'd probably have it all done now instead of worrying about rsync / the most optimal way of doing it
