I’ve been using FreeNAS 9.2.1.9-RELEASE-x86 since 2014 and it been flawless. We use it for backup & file storage and last year enabled the FTP function for two inbound security cams and it’s been perfect. I have a script running on a windows system that deletes the cam files nightly that are older than 2 weeks old.
The problem is that it is slowing down I believe due to adding two more cams (for a total of four) and the added incoming traffic is taking a slight toll on speed and performance so time to upgrade. It still works but time to upgrade plus I think I could build something that uses less power.
So here is my question since my only setup experience was original setup back in 2014. I’m wondering if it possible to take my two exiting 2 TB hard drives and import them into the new system from the old system and how difficult that is? Honestly I don’ know don’t even remember what file system I used back in 2014 but it was probably not the latest & greatest at that time because of the low system resources. Thanks in advance for any advise
