  1. In theory this is great. I move my hdds to new nas, was migratable, but then I got message "insufficient memory". Moved drives back to old nas and could not run it anymore. I had backup, so I restored from that. 🙁

  2. You forgot to mention one very important thing. The Migration Assistant is not available in anything less than the + models.
    I bought DS223j thinking the migration will be easy, only to find out that Migration Assistant is not available and i have to figure out some other more complicated method.

  3. I'm in the process of doing this now. This is a painfully slow process, and I must say I am disappointed. These machines are within centimeters of one another. I purchase a DS923+ with the 2TB SDD for M.2 2280 NVMe PCIe 3.0 x4. I can't see why I spent so much money for a low performing system. I expect speeds better than what I'm experiencing.

  4. tossing all informations with mixed links in the article that supposed to help users is not a help !
    it is like going to doctor for consultation or treatment and comeback with medical school bock instead of simple prescription !
    yes maybe the medication is the medical school books but if patient is obliged to read all before knowing his treatment…. he will die before finish reading … it is just stupid!

  5. Migration Assistant wasn't supported by the old NAS (212+), Hyper Backup failed with destination not writable for both remote NAS and external USB, even if that was clearly not the case. Meh!

  6. Important thing to note: with the Hyper Backup method, be sure to use an admin user that is not a user that you want to keep. I tried 3 times only to note that the calendars and contacts were all messed up between the users (my wife and I mostly). On the third try, I first reactivated the default admin on the destination NAS, logged in with that one, restored from the repository and this time it worked perfectly.
    Please include this in the video or the notes! 7:52

  7. You have a severe media indexing freezing problem. We, your customers, have paid you millions of dollars for freezing NAS. Give us a solution, or give us our money back!

  8. Sadly, these migrations only work if you have a newer Synology NAS to move to a new Synology NAS. DS212j? To DS220+… Nope. Seems like migration tools should work on old machines. Else, might just as well start from scratch. Luckily, I had two drives, moved one to the new machine, let RAID do it’s thing, then, removed the old drive, put in the new one and then fixed all the thing that a migration should have done. Synology… do better.

  9. Fantastic video as always. But what the fans really want (well, some of us anyway!) is a tool to migrate our Photos/Videos from Google Photos to Synology. Yes we can download it all and then upload it, but that's clunky and unreliable. What we want is a tool like your amazing Cloud Sync!
