2.6 System Migration
System migration allows existing QNAP NAS users to upgrade the NAS to another new QNAP NAS model
without the need to transfer the data or reconfigure the system. You only need to install the original
hard disk drives on the new NAS following its original hard drive order and restart the NAS.
Due to different hardware design, the NAS will automatically check if a firmware update is required
before system migration. After the migration has finished, all the settings and data will be kept and
applied to the new NAS. However, the system settings of the source NAS cannot be imported to the
destination NAS via “System Administration” > “Backup/Restore Settings”. Configure the NAS again if
the settings were lost.
The following table shows the NAS models which support system migration.

The destination should contain enough drive bays to house the number of hard disk drives in the
disk volume of the source NAS.
SS-x39 series supports only 2.5-inch hard disk drives.
A NAS with encrypted disk volume cannot be migrated to a NAS which does not support file
system encryption. File system encryption is not supported by TS-110, TS-119, TS-210, TS-219,
TS-219P, TS-410, TS-419P, TS-410U, TS-419U, TS-119P+, TS-219P+, TS-419P+, TS-112, TS-212,
TS-412, TS-419U+, TS-412U.
The Multimedia Station, Download Station, iTunes Server, and UPnP Media Server features will be
removed after migrating the non-TS-x79 models to the TS-x79 models. The network shares
Multimedia/Qmultimedia, Download/Qdownload and all the downloaded files will be kept.
