My Book via Ethernet
Hi, Looking for a new backup solution, I found large Ethernet based HDs at a reasonable price and performance. So, if I get one of these, can I connect it via the 2nd Ethernet connection in my Pro,...

Sounds like you want a two-disk RAID 0 volume. This is not difficult to set up, but has a major disadvantage - if either disk fails you lose all the data. So a good backup is important.

I ended up buying a ReadyNAS Ultra 2 for backing up my Pro Pioneer. Then I also have a solution which can act as a proper NAS if needed.
A few questions;
I also ordered 2 Hitachi 7K3000 3TB discs, and I wonder if/how I implement these as one single spanning volume with 6TB of space? I am used to XRAID2, but guess that's not what I am looking for...
And, once I have it all up and running, can I create the same shares and user accounts as I have on my Pro Pioneer, and basically switch to it, in case my Pro Pioneer goes bump (which is for instance the case right now)? And, in that setup, use Rsync jobs for backing up the Pro?
Thanks in advance,
Bo
You can certainly re-create the shares and accounts you currently have on the Pioneer, and FrontView backup includes rsync.
