I intended to include all RAID configurations in my comment. Regarding (1) I just upgraded from 3TB to 4TB drives (main + 2 backup) and it took about 24 hours to copy the data and another 24 to verify. My music was available all the time. The ability of to extend the RAID array doesn't do anything to extend your backup NAS unless it's a RAID too. Regarding (2) You're doing an automated backup daily, as do I, so the most I can lose without RAID is whatever I did that day. My concern is that RAID tends to make one complacent. You have your configuration under control, but I wonder what you'd really lose if you weren't using RAID with the associated extra hardware and energy costs.
