This turned out to be a very elegant and simple solution, and could be set up autonomously using the web UI, even though the steps were slightly non-obvious … How to set up Shared Folder Sync from one NAS to anotherġ. The solution I found was to use the ‘advanced’ rsync service with Synology’s integrated Shared Folder Sync app. Connecting via physical cable wasn’t really an option, and it was unclear how that would be achieved. I also wanted the ability to re-sync data in the future, if I added files to the old NAS before I had fully migrated to the new box. I also wanted a solution that could be performed in the background whilst the old NAS remained actively in use (our family relies on it for Plex access and other services). I want to keep the old NAS in operation, so I couldn’t simply take out the hard drives and physical move the data that way. However, upon receiving the new unit, my issue was how to copy across the data from the old NAS to the new one.
A full review of the DS920+ is coming soon.
A NAS is a great companion to an Apple household as it can act as a Plex media server for all your devices, run HomeBridge for advanced HomeKit automation, back your Macs with Time Machine, and more. I have recently upgraded from a two-bay Synology DS720+ to a four-bay Synology DS920+ model.The upgrade gives me a bit of extra performance and two extra drive bays for storage expandability. You can set this up easily in the Synology web control panel. If you are moving from an old Synology to a new Synology NAS, or just want to keep two NAS in sync at all times, the simple-yet-effective solution I’ve found is to use Shared Folder Sync with rsync.
