Duo V1 Disk 1 died Disk 2 all data Install new larger drive?
Hello. Many thanks in advance for any help given. I've had my Duo V1 XRAID 2 x 1TB drives for a few years and it had happily been backing up and mirroring via Time Machine on my iMac (Lion). Th...
Hi again. Ok an update and a request for more help please.
I went and bought a 2TB external hard drive and booted up my Duo V1, ran RAIDar, found the device and got the frontpage up and running.
I then plugged the external HDD into my iMac. However I couldn't figure out how to 'link' my Duo V1 and the external HDD. I flipped around the forum and user guides but couldn't fathom how to transfer data between the two via ethernet this way.
In the end I decided to plug the external HDD into the front USB port and try to back up the whole drive this way.
However whilst the USB Ext HDD was recognised in front page and I could set up a backup job, I couldn't locate a backup job that clearly states 'full or whole' back up. I read in some postings how some backup jobs create more data than just copying the drive contents. I wanted to make sure that my timemachine backups (on the duo v1) were included in task. In the end I decided to create a back up job for c: drive. I set this running and approximately 4 days later it has completed. However the external HDD is showing 730GB of data where as the Duo drive has 920GB on it?
Apologies but can someone clarify how I would backup via ethernet to Ext HDD via my iMac?
How to create a whole or full disk back up/copy?
Why did the backup not copy the same amount as the duo drive?
Where on my Duo V1 are the timemachine backups located.
Remember I am attempting to back up the whole remaining drive from my Duo v1 in order to install a replacement disk (2TB) to further backup and expand the capacity of the Duo V1.
Thanks
