zodde Posted December 11, 2018 Share #1 Posted December 11, 2018 Good evening! I've been driving my Hp microserver for a few months now and learned a lot and tried and developed, and of course made some things wrong and thought that a reinstallation would be in place and change from box 1. Now I have 4 disks in which is relatively full of data that I would rather not want between storing on other devices when I'm going to reinstall, in the same vein, I was going to make a new bootloader that's of a newer version. How do I do without losing everything? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bearcat Posted December 11, 2018 Share #2 Posted December 11, 2018 This is how I have done it: 1 - Prepare a new USB bootstick. (what version do you have, and what will you be using next? ) 2 - Download the .pat file you are going to use (to do a manual installation later on) 3 - Uninstall any extra packages form the Package Center 4 - Delete all users (but NOT the admin user) 5 - Power down your NAS 6 - Replace the connected USB bootstick with the new one 7 - Boot for the new USB bootstick 8 - "Find" you NAS, manually install your .pat 9 - "Migrate" your disks, if asked: delete all settings, keep data. 10 - Start messing it up again ;-D Attention: by doing it like this, you can't make any changes to your Raid setup, Volumes or filesystems. disclaimer: before doing anything of the above, make sure you have validated backups of all your files, in at least 3 physical locations ' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chemistry Posted March 10, 2019 Share #3 Posted March 10, 2019 (edited) i tried to reinstall everything but when "finding" my NAS i don''t have an option to install manually - only the option to "restore" When i do this all my settings are still there. But i want only my data and not my settings to be restored.... What can i do? Edited March 10, 2019 by chemistry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chemistry Posted March 11, 2019 Share #5 Posted March 11, 2019 Ok - thanks for the answer... i did something else in the meantime - i formated the dsm partitions on my drives with a partition program so that i could do a reinstall of DSM. Your way might have been a little easier though 😅 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I look the partition with Ubuntu, I can not understand which one I have to delete... Thanks for the help.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
