The bees make a plan
A one-way sync from the old network storage into the new server layout, duplicate reports, and cloud vault copies for off-site backup.

Where it stands
Job files now flow into the new server and show up in the platform's job browser. Sync runs are ongoing.
The technology we used
Named, because we really use it.
- Synology DSM
- Robocopy/rsync
- PowerShell
- Cloud storage
