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...
Hello again.
I didn't think erasing my sparse bundle sounded correct, luckily I didn't do it, phew!
OK so to recap. I backed up the remaining working NAS hard drive to an external drive (via USB, it took 4 days), but it didn't seem to create a similar sized back up to that of the original storage drive (external HDD is showing 730GB of data where as the Duo drive has 920GB on it). I've run the back up through disk utility to verify it, all seems fine. I've unlocked the hidden files to find my .timemachine directory (503GB). Why the discrepency between the drives? So what do I do next? Should I try and insert the new 2TB drive into the NAS to see if it will sync and copy all the remaining NAS drive data and hope it doesn't put to much stress on the drive and kill it? Or should I attempt to back up the original NAS drive again to see if I can get a full backup before doing this? If so how do I backup via ethernet (Frontview?) between the NAS and my iMac?
Any help appreciated.
Thanks
