Hope this helps.

I am getting ready to convert from an F220 and an F230 to an F740. Does anyone have any recomendations on how to copy all of the data from the two old filers to the new one? I know I can use dump and restore but I was wondering if maybe "vol copy" would be more efficient. Can I use "vol copy" to copy the entire contents of two existing filers to a single new one? If so, can it merge the contents into a single volume or should I create multiple volumes?
