Moving drives
Hi would this work. As previously posted. I now have an rn312 . I also have a duo v1 with 2 bt drives. 1 . Put in a single spare 500 gig unused drive into the 312 . 2. Copy all files across...

The RN312 will wipe the duo drives when you insert them. Your process should handle any single-disk failure in the transfer, since you are preserving 2 copies throughout.
aks' process also does that, though if the backup is NTFS, then you can also read the backup directly from your PC.
Either should work., though I think aks' approach is slightly cleaner. You end up with two 500 GB raid layers (since you start with a 500 GB drive). The users never see that, but it is a bit less tidy.
