There are three different ways to implement file server migration support. Note: Options 3 is the quickest but is also the riskiest if you are not confident in your snapshots or backup recovery options.

The two network interfaces on the DS1515+ can be combined into a Link Aggregation Group (LAG) if you have the network hardware (switch) capable of handling a LAG. The DS1515+ comes with double the RAM of the DS414 and is expandable to 6GB (from 2GB). The DS1515+ is a 5-bay unit and has the option to add an expansion unit to bring the total drive numbers to 15. We propose to implement a new Synology DS1515+ unit. The 10 megabits /8 = 1.25 megabytes per second * 60 = 75 megabytes per minute * 60 = 4.5 gigabytes per hour (drop 10 percent) 4 gigabytes per hour of backup data that can upload to the home location. NOTE: The backup destination in this example known as Cox Premier, AKA the home office is 150/10 megabits. There are also some pretty good alternatives backup apps are Glacier and Idrive Backup. Acme Inc uses the Time (Hyper) backup applet to perform backups which gives the availability to restore different versions of a file. Currently there is 4.4 TB used out of an available 5.7 TB.

In this scenario, the file server is a Synology DS414 with 4 x 2TB disks in a RAID 5 configuration. File Servers come in all shapes and sizes. Acme Inc needs file server migration support.
