There's no good way to merge existing pooled files if that is what you
are asking. Or to convert a Raid1 to a Raid5 without losing the
contents. I'd recommend building a new setup the way you want and
holding on to the old systems for as long as you might have a need to
restore from their older history, or perhaps generating tar images that
you can store elsewhere with BackupPC_tarCreate. Once the new system
has collected the history you need you can re-use the old drives.
