TOS7 Migrate system to another disk in TRAID

Hi,
I noticed that the system in my TRAID array is only on the first drive. In TOS6, the system was cloned across all drives in the array to prevent the failure of any drive in the array from rendering the system unbootable. Is there a way in TOS7 to copy system files to other drives in the array to ensure bootability in the event of a system drive failure?

In Tos5 the default (and only) option was to have the system drive on all drives. That changed in the development of Tos6. There is a way to duplicate the system drive across 2 drives, but that is the limit.

There are caveats noted in the Help files for this procedure.

Add system disk button suggest to select more then one disk to add system files.
UPD: It is allowed to select one disk only, you are right.
