How do we assure those files are safe? How do we back up those important files? We usually would back up those files to our PCs, Macs, QNAP NAS, or public cloud services such as Google cloud, Google photos, or Dropbox. Today, I’m not talking about the games and apps, but the files stored on those smart devices. Everybody has one and uses it 24/7 for games, apps, taking photos and videos, and so on. In past decades, smart devices have become an important part of our lives. … just take care you have a backup of at least your most important data.Hi, all. If you succeed in the one way or another, I would highly appreciate if you could leave another comment with your experiences. Sorry that I cannot help you with more detailled instructions.

With this option, please take care that you do not accidently let the QNAP create a new volume, which would probably erase all your existing data.

Plan b: Maybe it is possible to just install the new disk in the QNAP and turn your old one-disk volume into a standard RAID 1? This would also mirror all your data from your “old” disk to your new.

If you get this far you can then first delete the data on the “old” drive and afterwards install it in the QNAP as a second volume. Once the mirroring is completed – I guess for a 6TB drive this might take a week – you can take the interal disk out, replace it with the new and see if the system comes up with all data and settings as they were before. If this works, it will mirror your entire data from the internal drive to your new, at this point still external disk.

I would first try to use the way described in the blog post using Q-Raid 1.

I’m not familiar with the two-bay QNAPs, so all I can give you are ideas: This entry was posted in Technisches by Justus Philipp Beyer. If it is, sending me some special beer from your region.

Connect to the web interface again (which might now have a different IP, the old one) and check if everything is the way as with the old drive.

When it asks you to do so, confirm that the NAS shall restart.

Login with admin/admin, open the Control Panel, goto System Settings > Backup/Restore and restore the system settings with the backup bundle you created before.

Time to steer your browser to the web interface again. About 10 minutes later the NAS will beep (long) again.

Another few minutes later there will be another short beep. A couple of minutes later again 1x (short). Select to “Restore Factory Settings” and “Start” the firmware download.

The website should automatically update and tell you that a hard drive with QNAP signature was detected.

Solve the ‘problem’ by hot-plugging the new drive.

If everything went well, you should now see your NAS complain about a missing hard drive.

Either use QNAP Finder to find your NAS’ IP address or look into your DHCP server’s lease list and point your browser to.

Power up the device (yes, without connected drive!), wait a couple of minutes.

Disassemble the QNAP and take out the ‘old’ drive.

Once that process is finished, backup your settings from the device (not manually, there is an option to download them).1TB of data took my TS-110 more than a day. You will have to wait quite a while for this process to complete – mirroring approx. Go to the QNAP Webinterface, select the Control Panel und move into the External Devices section. Allow it to use the new (external) drive as a Q-RAID 1 mirror of the internal drive.Fit your new (and bigger) disk into an external hard drive enclosure with USB or eSATA and connect it to your QNAP.While the bigger QNAPs with multiple drives allow replacing the internal drives with bigger and newer disks quite easily due to a process called ‘Online RAID Capacity Extension’, it is slightly more difficult with a one-bay NAS – but possible.
