grphx Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 Been using unraid for several years now and I recently got some new hardware with the ablity to hold more drives and more NICs. This new nas is running a trial license of Unraid and is Intel. What's the best way to move my drives and config from my old nas to my new one? Potential issues I see is that the old nas is AMD based and new one is Intel. Am I going to botch my config when unraid tries to load and the entire system is different? Is there a way to transfer my current license from one USB(old nas) to another USB(on the new nas, currently running a trial) Is that even what I want to do? Quote Link to comment
itimpi Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 Unraid does not care about the processor type and is largely hardware agnostic. The easiest thing to do would be to transfer both the USB key and the drives from the old NAS to the new one. It is highly likely that that the system will just come up with the current configuration and drives ready to go. Quote Link to comment
