So I have no backup :( I was under the impression that since I had a redundant drive that I would be fine.

A common but incorrect impression. RAID is good, first level protection. X-RAID with two disks protects you against a single disk failure in the NAS (RAID is important as disks can and do fail at any time, often with little to no warning). There are whole range of problems that RAID cannot protect you against. One of them is problems when storing data for an application on a networked drive, when the application is designed to work with data stored on local disks.

Have a read of http://www.readynas.com/?p=3153. If you have important data it should be stored on at least two devices, preferably with copies at two different sites at all times. The backup functionality in Frontview (e.g. for backing up the NAS to a USB disk) is there for a purpose.

as soon as this bit is sorted out I am going to plug in a simple drive into the USB port of the ReadyNAs Duo.

Good.

I know it is still there the amount of disc space has not changed, but I am not sure how to point the application to the correct place.
