Migration between two NAS w/different folder structure

Post by noclaf »

Hi
I'm currently running XigmaNAS (FreeBSD based) with large collection of torrents (>1000) in various folders (one main directory and several subdirectories based on torrent content).Now I'm setting up new server running TrueNAS (also FreeBSD).
Unfortunately the new folder structure will be slightly different /mnt/XXX/Downloads vs /mnt/YYY/Downloads (switching to ZFS) so I cannot just copy-paste transmission folders to the new NAS. Is there a way how to migrate it? I.e. just change the storage location for all the existing torrents en masse?

First the download folder can be configured. See Migrate transmission from Synology to raspbian
But then you only change the location of the payload. You also need to copy the folders containing the .torrent and .resume files.
