When to use Copy Data?
You can copy the data from one Drobo device to another, if data migration is not
supported between your Drobo devices (see above for list of supported devices).
NOTE:
-
Ensure that you have the latest Drobo Dashboard 3.1.2+ as well as the latest
firmware on both source and destination (5D3 4.0.2+) Drobo devices before
moving the disk packs.
