It depends on how you back them up, and also if you want to verify the copy.
The write speed of the RN104 is about 50 MB/s, so it won't go faster than that. That means it will take at least 14 hours to transfer 2.5 TB.

Thanks for that I assume it will take the same time to format and load the drives the first time doing One drive at a time I will format the drive in the NAS the transfer all the files from the computer to the NAS . So about 3-4 days allowing for the odd sleep session

Probably a good estimate for planning purposes.
The NAS will take some time to create the full RAID array, but you should be able to start storing to it before that is done.
