RAID access

WD Legacy Products My Book Live Duo
1

I appear to have successfully set up my new Live Duo and configured it for RAID (which took 7 hours), but when I look at it, it doesn’t appear to have any files on it at all (except for the shared folders).

Shouldn’t I be able to see all the redudant files from y hard drive?

If not, how can I access them remotely (or is that not possible?)?

Thanks

What files are you expecting to see?    Had you added files before you configured the RAID setting?

Possibly naively, I was expecting to see that it had duplicated everything on my hard drive (mirrored/backed-up/call it what you will).

On WHAT hard drive?

I’m still trying to understand what you’re working with.

Had you previously run a backup job from your PC to the Duo?   And then you changed the RAID mode?

… or what?

I installed my Live Duo,

I did not manually transfer any files from the PC to the Live Duo

I ran de RAID configuration

I was expecting the files to be mirrored to the Live Duo during the RAID configuration process.

It does not appear to me that that has happened.

Was I wrong to have expected that?

I’m still confused – sorry, I must be daft.   But, if you never put any files on the drive, then what files are you expecting to have been mirrored?
