The RN102 is a ~$200 NAS, so the NVX wouldn't see the drives, only the shares. By JBOD I am meaning using each disk independently (one volume each). This is the standard use of the term (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-RAID_d ... hitectures).
The problem with creating a single volume with RAID0 is that when a drive fails, all the data on all the drives is lost.
As far as the enclosure goes, the easiest answer there is to plug it into your Mac and back it up over the network. My robocopy idea would be windows-only, but there are likely other mac-based tools that would be equivalent. You could also try to mount it on the NVX with ssh I guess.
