UniFi UNAS-Pro Pool Migration Strategy: Pool 1 (SSD) to Pool 2 (HDD)#

This document defines the operational plan, safety protocols, database update queries, and verification steps to migrate all shared folders from Storage Pool 1 (SSD - Degraded RAID5) to Storage Pool 2 (HDD - Healthy RAID5) on the master UniFi UNAS-Pro NAS (10.1.2.2) while preserving all access rights, Samba configurations, and TrueNAS backup operations.

The checked commands in this historical migration record now use the current identity HP6TrueNAS at 10.1.1.16; the node was formerly HP7TrueNAS at 10.1.1.17.

UniFi UNAS-Pro Master Backup Strategy: Native Rsync Daemon (Pull) Architecture#

This document defines the complete operational standard, architecture, schedule matrix, node-by-node configuration reference, and disaster recovery procedures for backing up all shared data from the master UniFi UNAS-Pro NAS (10.1.2.2) across the fleet of 5 TrueNAS SCALE storage nodes (HP1, HP2, HP3, HP6, HP7). It is designed to be sufficient to fully reconstruct the entire setup from scratch.

The former HP7TrueNAS node (10.1.1.17) is now HP6TrueNAS. The storage dataset, SMB shares, and backup script have been renamed to the HP6 identifiers.

UNAS-Pro Backup Migration Plan: SMB (Push) to Native Rsync Daemon (Pull)#

Antigravity Chat: agy –conversation=4c0c9b6d-2722-4fd6-a4aa-638c75ab46f4

This document is the complete master migration plan for transitioning the UNAS-Pro backup strategy from the UniFi Drive UI-managed SMB (Push) setup to a Native Rsync Daemon (Pull) model.

Because the UniFi Drive UI natively supports Rsync server settings and shared folder modules, migrating to Rsync requires configuring your TrueNAS SCALE servers (HP1, HP2, HP3, HP6, HP7) to pull the backups directly from the UNAS-Pro Rsync daemon over TCP port 873.

1 VPS BACKUP SYSTEM: Pangolin Docker#

Manual Backup Verification — 2026-10-02#

• Triggered the existing backup script as vps-backup on VPSBackups LXC 102 (10.1.2.102) for RN-VPS (72.11.147.220); it completed successfully.
• The current script stops the Pangolin stack, creates the archive on the VPS, restarts the stack, transfers the archive to LXC 102, and applies retention on both hosts.
• Verified archive: /home/vps-backup/Backups/2026-10-02_08h27_PangolinBackup.tar.gz (313,781,104 bytes). The timestamp is the backup host’s local time.
• The archive passed gzip -t; its file listing contains docker-compose.yml, config/db/db.sqlite, and config/traefik/traefik.yaml. A restore test was not performed.
• All six Pangolin stack containers were running afterward; Pangolin and CrowdSec reported healthy. No component versions were changed.
• Documentation discrepancy: /mnt/VPSBackups does not currently exist on LXC 102. The older storage and live-mirror references below have not been revalidated; the verified archive destination is /home/vps-backup/Backups/.

Target VPS: 72.11.147.220
VPS Provider: RackNerd (RN-VPS)
