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 ....

I'm OK with one backup set on my USB drive.
But I have the backups set to "Full backup once every week". If I select "Remove the contents of the backup destination before a full backup is performed." then there will be a short period (well, with the backup speeds I see, more like a day and a half!) when I won't have any backup (before the current full backup is completed).
If there was an option to 'Replace files on destination when doing full backup", that would be better, IMO.
