Moving files between 2 Unraid servers

[TomT]

Hi,

 

I currently have 2 unRaid servers (Pro and unlicensed). I'd like to find out the easiest and fastest way to move files between the 2 without using any client computer running Windows. Through Windows, it is just too slow and requires the computer to be running the entire time.

 

Is there command line to move files from one ip address (of the unraid server) to another?

 

Thanks.

Rsync!!

This may be fastest. rsync is easier and safer.

 

If you have more than a terabyte:

 

1) Physically move the drives from one server to the other. If you can leave the drives use initconfig.

2) If you need to move the drives back, cp the files to existing drives. Then rebuild parity.

I have tried this and using initconfig. Yes, it is much faster. The purpose is to just to copy some files to another server for backup. I lost too many files with the V4.5.3 bugs. Thanks!

Upgrading to 4.6 might help with file loss. It only requires copying 3 files to your flash and rebooting.

I have 4.5.6 and just saw 4.6 today. I will upgrade now. Thanks!
