Best Way to Back up Music Library

Thanks again David. I'll have a look at those options.

I think I may be getting to the bottom of why the 213J failed in the first place. I have 2 x 3TB drives in my 213J. It failed - by which I mean it was nowhere to be seen on my network and it kept making a beeping noise and showing an orange status light). Someone from Synology suggested that I reset the NAS and then plug it directly into an ethernet port on my computer. This seemed to allow me to see the NAS again. However, it reported that there was a problem with "Volume 1" (which I took to be Hard Disk 1). It suggested that it could repair this volume and I asked it to do that for me. Some 12 hours later it seemed to have worked and the volumes/disks were reported as being "Good". Today I am getting an amber light on Disk 1 again and, when trying to run SyncToy the Synology is reporting "I/O error occurred to hard disk 1 on DiskStation". It is looking as if that drive is kaput therefore. I have ordered a new HD (Western Red). Do I just remove the defective disk and insert the new one, or is it a little more complicated than that? The 213J was set up so that the data was mirrored in some way (I don't really understand this RAID business). Should the original data re-write to the new disk when it is inserted?

Thanks again - jings I'm having a lot of issues at the moment..
