Is this another ReadyNAS?  If so, what model is it?  Direct migration of disks is possible if you are wanting to move the disks to another ReadyNAS running OS-6.

It's complicated because you don't know linux, and you are limited to using the linux command line.

What would have made it simple: having a proper backup plan in place for your data.  RAID isn't enough to keep it safe.

It’s just an external hard drive, do I need to do anything to mount it?

Normally the NAS would mount it automatically, though that depends how it is formatted.

Part of the puzzle here is finding the path to the USB drive in linux, as you need that in order to use the CP command in the earlier post.

Try typing

# lsblk

Ignore any output that includes sda or sdb - these are the internal drives in your NAS.  If the drive is mounted, you will see another device in the list (probably sdc).  That would show you the mount point for that drive (the rightmost entry on the list).

If that is too confusing, you can take a photo of the output, and post it here.
