My Book Duo - Recovering files after enclosure failure

Hi dantastic,

My Book Duo is shipped with enabled hardware encryption and the encryption is always turned on and cannot be configured.

If the My Book Duo enclosure fails, replace the My Book Duo enclosure. Make sure that the My Book Duo firmware is the most recent, the move the HDDs in the replacement enclosure of the My Book Duo. The data should be available without any other configuration.
