Replaced HDX-SSD: how to reconnect NAS with existing ripped audio data

Posted by: spy70 on 29 February 2016

Hi,

The HDX of my friend was replaced due to an hardware issue.

So this is a new HDX.

His Synology NAS contains audio datas from the old HDX.

what is the way to reconnect this NAS to this new HDX, without loosing data?

the installation guide only describes the procedure for new HDX and new empty NAS.

Many thanks in advance for your help.

First, make sure you have a second backup.

Open up the Desk Top Client.

Then Tools, Music Repositories, Scalable Network shares and select the share folder on your NAS, then, Use as Store !

I have had cause several times to reconnect my HDX to my music store and each time there was no issue, i.e loss of data

The manual and the GUI help text states that the store should be empty but this appears not to be necessary

However, as Paul notes best to first do a backup just in case!!
