To change from RAID0 to RAID1 you must :

1) backup your data
2) setup (reformat) your drives to RAID1
3) restore your data from backup

That's not what you asked - or maybe it was and the title of your post and the content are different - the title of your post asks about going from RAID0 to RAID1 - as mig said, you cannot go from RAID0 to RAID1 without backingup/reformatting/restoring.

However, you can with the later firmwares - I don't remember if the feature was introduced in 1.05 or 1.06 add a second drive and format it and create a RAID1 array - however - since the unit has been know to format the wrong drive, you'd be well advised to backup your data before installing a second drive.

Also - whilst it may take ages to backup - you have to ask yourself, which will take longer, backing up the data or recreating it?  And last, but by no means least - RAID1 is not a form of backup.
