  1. Just follow the instructions and either chose "Install" if you wish to have a clean install or chose “Migration” if you are coming from DMS 5.2 and wish to update while retaining your data. that is why I didn't think that a clean install would keep my data safe, you mentioned that option only for the "Migration" path... So It is correct to understand that a clean install keeps the files on the data volumes but removes any configuration or modules from previous xpenology install, and that the migration moves every thing (data + configuration + modules) from previous setup to the new one ?
  2. Yep, read it as soon as you posted it back in september. It is very well done but I didn't find the way to have a clean install (with no previous modules from 5.2) AND the data kept in place. Did I overlook something ?
  3. Hi all, I currently happily use a HP Proliant microserver (gen 7 - HP56L) running on a 5.2 DSM. I want my setup to be a bit more secure and updated so DSM 6 is on the table. But I would like a fresh clean install for the core system and still keep my data (pure files, not setup nor apps/packages). My setup is pretty standard : 3 x 3TB HDD, on 1 volume ( 5.5TB) in SHR mode. What strategy would you use to achieve that goal ? Apart from a full backup which is still possible but slow... thks all !

  4. Hi all, And thanks for all the work you guys put in this project ! What I understand of the xpenology booting system is this : 1/ the system boots on a specificly designed linux kernel which mimics the synology default setup. 2/ from there, the system loads the synology system and it's services from the HDD My question, Once a system is working, say a 5.0beta trantor version, does the update gui of synology works ? or does it need a updated xpenology booting system ? thanks
