Question rather than issue. Tried finding answer in community forum and KB to no avail, so…
I currently store my media files in a watched folder on an external hdd connected to my NUC/ROCK (details in gear/setup description below). This hdd also holds the folder for my database backups.
All is well but I am planning to upsize from a 2T to 5T hdd. So, should I
(A) power down the NUC and remove the hdd so I can use my computer to simply transfer my watched folder and backup location onto the new hdd, then reconnect to the NUC and power it up? Will ROCK find automatically recognize the location of the files on the new hdd? Will scheduled backups go to the backup location already identified?
(B) add the new hdd via the second usb port on the back of the NUC and transfer the watched media folder and designated backup folder to the new hdd? Will both drives show up under …\data\storage? Will ROCK OS crash in the time when two identical locations hold watched and backup folders?
(C) Is there some other way to do this correctly?
If this process is explained in a KB entry, please refer me to it. I have reviewed the related KB articles on importing files, etc. but I cannot decipher how to apply this information to simply transferring all my files and database backups to a new drive to replace one already in use on NUC/ROCK.
Thanks for your patience!
