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.

1. Executive Summary & Objective#

Due to hardware failures on Pool 1 (Slot 2 pulled, Slot 3 accumulating 75,000+ write failures), Pool 1 is operating with zero fault tolerance. To prevent data loss prior to receiving warranty replacement drives, all active shares on Pool 1 will be migrated to Pool 2.

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, HP7, HP8). It is designed to be sufficient to fully reconstruct the entire setup from scratch.

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, HP7, HP8) to pull the backups directly from the UNAS-Pro Rsync daemon over TCP port 873.

1 VPS BACKUP SYSTEM: Pangolin Docker#

Target VPS: 72.11.147.220
VPS Provider: RackNerd (RN-VPS)
Backup LXC: Proxmox 102
Retention: 28 Files (14 Days)

The backup is a pull operation: Proxmox LXC 102 initiates SSH to the VPS. The home ISP public IP is therefore used as the source IP seen by the VPS firewall. On 2026-08-12, the home IP was 208.96.219.86; this address is dynamic and must be updated if the ISP changes it.
