· I have a large Roon library on a QNAP Model TVS-871U-RP, about 5-6 years old. Large meaning 35,000-40,000 lossless albums, so maybe 20+ TB. The Roon brain/controls are on the QNAP as well. I want to find someone in CT or environs that I can work with to a)back it up to cloud; b) migrate to a new storage unit without losing the Roon logic (playlists, tags, etc.); c)help set up a new multi-room system with it. Who in CT or NYC would people recommend?

Thank you for reaching out to Roon Support. That is a seriously impressive library you have built over the years!
Because we operate as a global software support team, we do not maintain a specific directory of local IT professionals, AV integrators, or consultants in the CT/NYC area that we can officially recommend for on-site services.
However, we are more than happy to help guide you through the Roon side of this migration right here! Migrating your Roon Server to a new storage unit without losing your logic (playlists, custom tags, edits, and play history) is a straightforward process. It involves creating a Roon database backup on your current setup and simply restoring it on the new system.
Please note that Roon’s backup feature only backs up the database itself. For backing up 20+ TB of actual music files to the cloud, you will need to utilize a NAS-level third-party backup application (such as QNAP’s Hybrid Backup Sync) directed at a cloud storage service.
If your upcoming migration involves setting up Roon on a modern QNAP OS, you will need to utilize our Docker installation method. You can review the comprehensive guide for that process here:
If you decide to tackle the migration yourself or have a local professional reach out on your behalf, please let us know! We can provide a step-by-step breakdown of how to safely back up and restore your Roon database to ensure none of your hard work is lost during the transition.
