Yes it looks like a nice unit.

Yes of course it's well understood, thank you. I can actually put a duplicator to good use for reasons beyond my unRAID server. I am considering building a second server as I mentioned, but I have thought of just cloning all the current drives and keep those drives off-site as well for safe keeping. On another note many years ago I used Arcoide DupliDisk hardware to mirror/duplicate HDD's on the fly in quite a few PC's and servers. If I remember correctly the servers ran Raid 5 with 5 DupliDisk controllers and a total of 10 HDD's. I wonder if this method would be overkill for an unRAID server?

So in your experience if I take my 10 x 3TB HDD's and duplicate to 3TB HDD's and larger it should work just fine? Thanks.

I think I will go ahead and just build the second server and do the over-the-network copy as you suggested. Thank you.

Thanks for the information on Backups. I'm planning on building a new unRAID box as a backup, and a second Pro license. I'm wondering if it's a good idea to use the product below to duplicate all my disks first, around 10 3TB HDD's: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=0Y5-0001-00014
