Will a Duo v1 (RAIDiator 4.1.8) backup to a 3 TB USB?
Can it handle a 3 TB USB drive attached to it for use in Backup? I am upgrading my Duo to 2 x 2TB XRAID setup and a 2 TB external USB drive may no longer be sufficient for backups ....

You could connect the 3 TB USB drive to a PC, and backup over the network. The main disadvantage is that the PC would need to be turned on when the backup is scheduled (and left on until it completes).
If you are sticking with X-Raid, your current USB drive should be ok (unless you are storing multiple backups on the same drive). After expansion, the duo's volume should be slightly smaller than the external drive size.
