Migration Assistant not working

NAS Apps

I'm trying to migrate from my old NAS (DS218j) to my new NAS (DS1522+). When I run Migration Assistant on my new NAS, I get the following "Unable to obtain migration information from the source device". Does anyone know a work around for this? Thanks in advance.

Thanks - this is really helpful. I had no idea that the file system would also be migrated. Out of curiosity, if I used Hyper Backup this also change the file system on the new NAS to EXT4?

Did you end up using Hyper Backup? I am running into a similar issue and can't figure out the right way to migrate all of the data from my old NAS to the new one.

No I didn't. I ended up following BakeCityWay's instructions above and it worked perfectly.

That comment seemed to be deleted for some reason. Do you have any instructions you can remember or a good direction to point someone having the same issue?
