[COMPLETED] Migrating media server

I was waiting for new versions, but the disk filled up faster than I expected. I'm moving 400GB image archive from local disk to object-storage. Unfortunately the process is very slow. It will take several hours.

Update: Migration finished 🎉

Buy 1 TB USB drive.

Rsync photo archive into 1tb USB drive

Format 400 gb drive

Replace 400 gb drive with something more substantial.

Rsync photo archive from USB drive to replacement.
- You know I'm not serving the site from my local computer right? 😀
  
  Just drive to the data centre and let them know you have an extra 1tb hard drive to plug in, they’ll walk you right in and serve you mimosas.
  
  So?
  
  My server has attached storage for cases like this. Before I had a mirror setup.
  
  Someone tell me that you're not in IT.
- I would hope that the admins of the instance know something as basic as rsync.
