I would assume you'd have the same issue whether moving it to a server or another QNAP as it's more the file and folder structure you want to preserve. <br />
<br />
Personally I'd setup identical shares/folder structure and permissions on the new device, copy over some documents and test the links to see if they work - if they do then arrange to migrate the live data over (using something like robocopy).

Hi Andy,<br />
<br />
What I was thinking after speaking to a few more people is this:<br />
<br />
Setup a new CNAME record in the local DNS entries on the DNS server to the new data location with the same name as the previous location. Move the shares using something like robocopy or totalCMD. That way when the clients query the old name, they are sent to the new name.<br />
<br />
In theory it should work, however theory usually goes out the window in practice.<br />
<br />
Any thoughts?

Thanks for the expert insight. I will try the local CNAME in testing environment and go from there.

Hi Experts, we have a client with a QNAP TS509, we have inherited this when we took the network over.<br />
The issue is that it has been set up with intricate links between spreadsheets etc. Is their an easier way to move this data intact to a new 2012 domain controller/ File server, or would it be safer to move to a more up to date QNAP?<br />
thanks in advance.

Advice on QNAP TS509 Data transfer

Computer data storage, often called storage or memory, is a technology consisting of computer components and recording media used to retain digital data. In addition to local storage devices like CD and DVD readers, hard drives and flash drives, solid state drives can hold enormous amounts of data in a very small device. Cloud services and other new forms of remote storage also add to the capacity of devices and their ability to access more data without building additional data storage into a device.

Security is the protection of information systems from theft or damage to the hardware, the software, and the information on them, as well as from disruption or misdirection of the services they provide. The main goal of security is protecting assets, and an asset is anything of value and worthy of protection.  Information Security is a discipline of protecting information assets from threats through safeguards to achieve the objectives of confidentiality, integrity, and availability or CIA for short. On the other hand, disclosure, alteration, and disruption (DAD) compromise the security objectives.
