I have been using a My Book Live for (LAN only) simple back ups for several years now. I recently purchased a WD My Cloud and created a safe point of the MBL on it. Since the MC features a convenient USB port that can also be used with a portable drive to create safe points for off premise safe keeping as well as many other new features, I would like to migrate the newer MC in as the main NAS on my LAN.
I am wondering if the configuration file from the MBL can be imported to the MC along with a fresh safe point so the MBL can be taken out of service as the main NAS device? The user and share data seems to line up, but I would like some advice or experience from other users who may have done or tried this before attempting the switch. Otherwise I can set it up manually, but the export/import would be a time saver if compatible between the models.
