craiglyn Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 I'm setting up a second UNRAID I have a large amount of data on my old server that I'd like to transfer to my new UNRAID. Even tho I have a gigbit network I don't want to incur the network overhead of transferring data from the old server, to my desktop computer, to the new server. Swapping drives in and out of machines is out of the question so it needs to be a network copy. Can someone out there who is Jedi in the ways of Linux give me the appropriate commands to mount the shares of new UNRAID sever via telent on my old URAID sever so I can do a cp -rf. much thanks Quote Link to comment
BRiT Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 You should be able to rsync between the two servers. Quote Link to comment
RobJ Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 The How-To's wiki page has several entries that should help, in particular: Transferring Files from a Network Share to unRAID Quote Link to comment

To copy entire /mnt/user to a system that has IP 192.168.1.1 Receiving system: nc -l -p 6666 | tar -C /mnt/user -xf - Sending system: tar -C /mnt/user -cf- . >/dev/tcp/192.168.1.1/6666 Here is how to install netcat: cd /var/tmp; wget http://repository.slacky.eu/slackware-12.2/network/netcat/0.7.1/netcat-0.7.1-i486-2as.tgz; installpkg netcat-0.7.1-i486-2as.tgz Quote Link to comment
