If I want to copy or move files from one storage device to another, in order to be able to unmount a disk without losing the data, I would like to know if the files move directly from one disk to the other, or the data has to pass up to the router first, and then back down the connection to the second disk? Really, I guess what i want to know is how efficient and fast is it to move those files?
If I move all the data off one disk and unmount it, then can I mount it again with a different name? Any tricks to doing this?
Thanks,
Michael
