Copying config.ini and history from old Synology to new Synology?
Posted: May 4th, 2021, 5:28 pm
Hi all, thought I'd be smart and simply use Midnight Commander to copy and paste my var folder from my old DS1019+ to the new 1821+
I installed Sab, same version, let it creat it's folders, then stopped the package and copied the config.ini and history over.
However the package will not start (and I had more info but "New users are not allowed to post links", even though there were no links in the log file I posted...)
I tried to chown the folder but this didn't work.
Again I find my years of troubleshooting Windows lets me down in Linuxland, so any help gratefully received as I'd rather keep my history and download data.
I didn't have it running in Docker, much to my annoyance...
What do I need to do to retain my history on my new NAS? Not so bothered about the config, I can just put my usenet details etc in again, but the history would be handy.
Cheers in advance.
