I've been digging around through the guide and through here a bit, and I'm not quite sure if this is possible, and/or which commands would apply. Scoop in short: AT&T 130040 S2 with original drive plus Weaknees 120gb added a few years back. One of the two is dying (freezes and the click of death).
I was thinking of replacing the two with a single 300gb. Is it possible to do this and save existing recordings/season passes/all that stuff? The guide seems to imply so, but the command is a bit fuzzy.
In this case, I'm assuing I would put new drive on primary master, cdr on primary slave, and two existing drives on secondary master and slave accordingly. This is where the guide gets a bit fuzzy. It appears to recommend issuing a backup command, then a restore. The question is, backup to where as the only other drive in place is the new one?
Is there an inline command to transfer data from the two existing drives to the new drive along with saving recordings? I found a thread on doing without saving, but in this case there's alot I'd really like to save. If not, what would be the best option to achieve this?
