Orphée Posted November 7, 2022 Share #1 Posted November 7, 2022 Hello, A friend of mine has a N54L with very old Xpenology DSM 5.0 never updated. I will not try to update his DSM step by step from 5.0 to 7.1.1 ... 6 loaders to build one by one to upgrade ... Question is simple : In case I choose to create directly the latest loader using ARPL (or anything else), does the DATA will be detected and kept ? I don't know if there is a big change in partitioning that would break to keep data available. I don't care about DSM system settings, but If I can avoid to transfer/backup the data somewere else, it would be cool. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wreid23 Posted November 12, 2022 Share #2 Posted November 12, 2022 (edited) take disks out his system. take empty hdd load dsm 5 on there and put some junk data then create loader and test if it works (reads hardware fine, gets ip etc etc and you of course setup loader properly with right info) it should be fine to my understanding. No reason to not test though, its easy and fast to test. Edited November 12, 2022 by Wreid23 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
