Hello,

I have a 1 TB hard drive with all my data on it. And I have another hard disk (1TB) which is empty.

Now I bought the NAS326 and want to set up a Raid 1. How do I do this without losing my data?

(I don't have another hard drive to store the data on).

Many greetings

masterkey

    What kind of file system type? NTFS or EXT4 or ...

    I recommend you need to backup these data of HDD into your computer. Then, plug-in two 1TB HDD to NAS326 and create as RAID1. After that, restore these data of HDD to NAS326.

    Ok, I understand. If have no HDD with 1TB space in my computer. But I bought one.

    If I have the Raid 1 setup, is there a possibility to connect the 1TB HDD via USB to the NAS and do a automatic backup of the raid 1 system (e.g. once a week).

    You can use Backup Planner to create a job to backup NAS326's data to external USB hard drive.
