Gnawing at the back of my mind has been this tiny question about the portability of my SpiderOak NAS solution. In my last post, I suggested that the simplest approach to installing SpiderOakONE on an Intel based Synology was to use the SynoCommunity Debian Chroot package, and install the official headless .deb from SpiderOak within it. So, what would happen if say... I wanted to move my NAS to new hardware, could my existing SpiderOak install migrate over with just a copy & paste?

1. I made a copy of ~/.config/SpiderOakONE (SpiderOakONE.tar), along with the exact SpiderOakOne.deb file I'd used (spideroakone_6.0.1_i386.deb) to install it
2. downloaded both files to my desktop and removed the chroot package from my Synology (probably not a good idea)
3. I then rebooted the NAS and re-installed the chroot
4. re-created my DSM users in the chroot
5. re-created all my mount points to what they were before (media/photos, media/music, media/videos, /home/*)
6. re-installed the SpiderOak client
7. untarred the SpiderOakOne.tar into ~/.config/SpiderOakONE
8. re-configured openssh with X11 forwarding
9. and remotely launched the SpiderOak client

So far, everything has seemed to work. Again, this is an unofficial project and doing anything like this with sensitive data is probably asking for trouble, I'm just sharing what I did because I like doing this kind of stuff, and it's always nice having a reference.
