possible use robocopy backup files external hard disk, use raid config create new array, , use robocopy transfer files new logical drive without losing shares , permissions?

if not, has been suggested copy of acronis , try that. feedback on or suggestions other tools or methods accomplish task?

acronis work too, depending upon version have, things can little interesting , challenging if decide make new volume bigger or smaller
