If all those ideas are impossible to achieve without loosing all the data, then I might considering using an additional RN102 only for remote backup !
Its not advisable to just pull-out your exisitng drives from your x86 NAS then simply insert it to the RN102. It would be best if you back up the data from your x86 NAS to an external drive or free space on your PC/laptop. Then, if ever you have the RN102 in hand, you may transfer the backed up data to it.
