Hello, english is not my first language, pardon my french as we say.
So : for a client I had to transfer all his pictures (43000 +) and his Qumagie database to a new NAS. Of course as we know there is currently no way to transfer the full Qumagie database to a new device. So after a few hour of Google-fu (and thanks to this thread) I came up with this quite dirty way to transfer Qumagie data to a new device. Keep in mind I tried it ONCE, on two NAS my client buyed around the same time, so the system and the softwares are the same version, maybe it won't work on your devices, so don't try it blindly. It worked for me but it could easily backfire one way or another, but if you want to copy your database it's better than nothing.
Let's begin.
First you have to activate SSH on the two device.
Second : make sure the path to the files on the new NAS are EXACTLY the same (for instance : photos/YOUR FOLDERS
SSH into the source NAS
Input this commands
To copy the database to your user folder for easy access
cp -avr /share/CACHEDEV1_DATA/.system/data/s01 /share/homes/YOURUSER
(if there is no s01 it's probably because you didn't rebuild the database so the folder is s00)
To copy the face recognition thumbnail to your user folder for easy access
cp -avr /share/CACHEDEV1_DATA/.system/facedata /share/homes/YOURUSER
Shutdown multimedia station on the destination NAS
Copy the two folder to your user folder on the destination nas (from your computer by mounting the two for instance)
SSH into the new NAS
Input this command to copy the database to the destination NAS system folder
cp -avr /share/homes/YOURUSER/s01 /share/CACHEDEV1_DATA/.system/data/
Input this command to copy the face recognition thumbnail into the new NAS system folder
cp -avr /share/homes/YOURUSER/facedata /share/CACHEDEV1_DATA/.system/
Restart multimedia station ! And behold your complete Qumagie database is transfered
There is probably a way to automate this with a script to make regular backup of the database to a distant drive, I'll think about it later when I'll setup backups for my client. I hope it will help someone.
You has answer, so pedantic french reporting in. It's not a castle but an abbey. Mont Saint Michel to be precise
Non architect here, can somebody explain how this castle isn’t eroding away?
