Migrate DVR To Another WD EXT2 Ultra NAS

Post by themusj »

I have an earlier post about the issues I am facing. Since I have an identical WD EXT Ultra NAS, I am wondering the best method to migrate my HDHomeRun DVR to it.

Can I just pull the two drives out of the first one, and plug them into the second one, make sure the IP is the same (I use static) and be good to go? Can it be that easy?

I think you can move drives to a different WD NAS of the same model and have them be recognized. You probably should make sure the new one is running the same firmware version as the old one just in case there is some difference in the structure of the data on the drives. You will probably need to install the DVR app on the new NAS, but that's pretty simple.
