After a disk failure I have tried to configure my 2-disk Ultra 2 to Raid 1. I have followed the instructions for factory reset and selected Raid 1 but when the NAS have finished the configuration process RAIDar says it is in X-RAID2 mode. What I want is for disk 2 to act as a mirror of disk 1 for data protection.
English is not my first language so I have some trouble understanding the "Redundency" part of the X-RAID2 configuration.
* Is the data on disk 1 mirrored to disk 2 in a X-RAID2 configuration?

With 2 disks and "Single Redundancy" XRAID2 uses RAID-1. So you already have the mode you want - there is no need to reset again.
If you had a 4-bay unit, and inserted a 3rd disk later, XRAID2 would automatically convert to RAID-5. Of course that's not possible on a 2-bay unit. But that's why XRAID2 uses the "redundancy" language.
