Migrate Data to Bigger HD?


Recommended Posts

Hello all,


Can someone please help me with the query?

Am using Resilio 2.5.1 

Syncing data from 1 x win 7 x64 to 1 x win 7 x64 across the internet.

Both Source and Destination machines have a 2TB disk for data syncing (No OS installed on these drives).

Sync is set to one way.  Only Source can change Destinations data.

The root of both Source and Destination drives only has 1 folder called "Data" and is shared within windows with the name "SharedData"

My storage will soon be approaching the max capacity on both HDs.  I would like to upgrade these to 4Tb HDs but am unsure if my process will start a full sync again from Destination to Source as timestamps etc may change?

My initial thoughts are: (for both Source and Destination machines)

Break/delete the windows share on 2Tb drive

Robocopy copy script to transfer the 2Tb drive "Data" folder to new 4Tb drive "Data" folder.

Remove 2Tb drive and replace with 4Tb drive.

Re-create windows share on 4TBb drive folder to name as before "SharedData"

 

Will the above process work?  Or do I need to attack this a different way?


Thanks and regards


Steve
