- [lecture]You really should have a backup. Without one your data is vulnerable. RAID is not a substitute for backup. I'd get two new disks for the ultra, and use the NV+ for backup. [/lecture]
The disks will be wiped when you insert them into the ultra.
What you could do is take one disk out of the RND4000 (while it is running) and confirm you can still access the files.
Then insert that disk into the RNDU4000, which should wipe it and create an empty volume. Recreate the shares, users, etc with Frontview. Then copy the data over the network (Frontview backup should work).
After the transfer is complete, you can then move the remaining disk out of the RND4000, and insert it into the RNDU4000. It should wipe it, and build a redundant volume. - Hi
Thanks for the tip. I am returning RND4000 back to the store.
And I use cloud service (bitcasa) for my backups.
I use crashplan myself. So far so good, but I personally don't trust the cloud enough to make it my only backup - at least not yet.Avorill wrote: And I use cloud service (bitcasa) for my backups.
Good luck with your migration. I get the appeal of the new dashboard etc, but am quite happy with my x86 pro.
