shaneshane Posted December 26, 2013 Share #1 Posted December 26, 2013 just treat it as a brand new installation or there is a way to "upgrade"? my PC: Core Celeron G530, asus P8H77-I, onboard realtek 81xx NIC, had been running at DSM 4.2 3202, I have 6 disks loaded now, all with a lot of data if I need to install as a brand new, will it impact my data? any risk of data losing? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XPEH Posted December 26, 2013 Share #2 Posted December 26, 2013 It's similar to new installation, but you should see status in SA as migratable and no options to create SHR during the installation. Data will (should) stay, settings and installed apps will need to be reinstalled. There is ALWAYS risk of data losing. Backup is always advised, but too often ignored (sometimes with late regrets).

shaneshane Posted December 31, 2013 Author Share #3 Posted December 31, 2013 thanks XPEH, I do worried about the data lossing, and I did have a large amount of data that need to be backed up, which makes it almost imposssible. I can try to backup the most important portion, and after that I'll give it a shot. BTW, can Mac recognize the Synology disk format (I assume it's EXT4?), how can I read it directly from Mac?
