You could either connect the disk to your PC (formatting it to use NTFS would be fine) and backup to it across your network, or put the disk in a USB enclosure and backup to the disk while it is connected to the NAS (for this you'd format the disk to use EXT3 under Volumes > USB Storage in Frontview and enable fast USB writes: http://www.readynas.com/forum/faq.php#How_do_I_improve_write_speeds_of_USB_External_Drive_attached_to_ReadyNAS%3F)

You would restore the config before restoring the data.
In the notes for 4.1.7 (http://www.readynas.com/RAIDiator_4_1_7_Notes) it says that a factory reset on 4.1.7 (or later once newer firmware is released) is required to setup the 4k sector alignment.
