453A ---> 453A new

AMV · Post by **AMV** » Mon Jun 17, 2019 4:27 am

Hello,

I had a TS-453A that was damaged and is no longer working. Let's call him "old". I was very lucky - hard drives are fine. I got myself a new TS-453A and tried to restore from the HDD #1-old. Somehow the restore is endless, every time the new NAS recognises the HDD 1 as an HDD from another QNAP and proposes me to restore. Everything goes smooth but after the restore I have a reboot which brings me back to the restore screen.

After trying for a few times I decided to start from scratch and got myself a new HDD which I put in bay 1. I still have HDD #1-old and HDD#2-old and HDD#3-old. So how do I restore all the shares? Thank you!

The old and new NAS should be running the same version and build of the firmware.

And if they don’t? I think they should have the same version as I always kept mine up to date and immediately updated the new to the version released closer to end of May (before the accident happened). Thanks!!

Then things don’t always go right. Read about migrating from one unit to another in the manual.

upgrade new unit via qfinder first and it works

Thanks, I read about migration, but unfortunately migration didn't go well. How can I recover the shares from HDD #1-old, HDD #2-old, etc? Thanks

make sure the new unit is on the latest firmware and insert the old drives

Thanks, did that, but no luck, with old drives it' s a cyclical endless migration, after each reboot I get the setup screen asking me to choose if I would like to format or migrate

best to contact qnap

I guess you have no backups of your single disks ?

I have some older backups but would prefer to use the actual disks.
