I'm not sure of the best terms to use in the title, so I describe in more detail.

My company has finally outgrown the existing storage on our QNAP NAS, TS-659 Pro II. My former colleague configured the array to use all 6 drives and ended up with only 4.5 TB of storage and I'd like to push that to at least 12TB using 5 drives and keep the 6th as a hot spare. Everything on the existing NAS is backed up to an external USB drive that is cycled weekly for additional protection.

Now by MBS question. Since I can't just convert to 5+1 from the 6 drive array, I blocked access to the NAS for clients using MBS and created a current snapshot of all the data on the external drive. From there I'm going to start from scratch on the array and then restore the snapshot to the new array/volume. The former folder structure will be maintained and all client computers will have the same access so the plans will also see the same paths as before the transition. Once I re-enable access to the NAS, will the MBS clients just pick up where they left off or will I need to create new plans? Is there any way to force MBS to check the "new" storage accounts?

Thanks.
