I'm about to invest in my first ever NAS next week on Prime Day.

The bulk of my data I need to move over to it is my Music Collection, which also includes a load of concert films.

My data is currently all in C:/Music/.

Within C:/Music/Concerts I have all these concert films broken down by Artist, however within that same folder I also have a folder for Glastonbury (and other festivals) and within that any respective artists with a Glastonbury performance have been hardlinked through so I can have them in both places, and also have Plex to read them in both.

Further, I then have C:/Music/Albums which houses the rest of my music, again my artist. I've gone one step further and created a junction in here from each of my artists within C:/Music/Concerts.

Now, I need to find a way of moving there all over to my new NAS but without doubling up (or tripling in some cases) all the files which have been hardlinked. What's the easiest way of doing this?

I'd then like to find a way of regularly syncing these back the other way as a backup somehow, again keeping hardlinks and Junctions in place.

I'm using Windows 11 currently, and purchasing the UGREEN NAS.
