The remote is when you put the drives in your new NAS. They remote into it and mount the volume so you can offload the files. But you have to store them on other media such as a USB drive (which gives you a good start on the backup you should have, anyway) so you can then factory default the new unit and put the files back on the NAS with it's new drive format.
Yes, if you have a way to connect all the drives to a Linux system, then you can mount the volume there..

You'd boot up the NAS in "tech support mode". That allows Netgear to access it remotely. Support would give you more detailed instructions if you go down this path.
