Safe to reformat original RAID drive?

Thread needs solution

I have 7TB on a RAID drive--- a RAID that I've BackedUp via Acronis onto a 2nd RAID. Since I have that Backup, am I safe to delete and reformat the original drive--- will using the Backup restore all files?

Ed, welcome to these public User Forums.

It is impossible to state with 100% certainty what is safe to do or not!

Have you validated your backup of this drive data?
Have you tested whether you can explore the contents of the backup archive?
Do you have more than one backup of this data if it is vital to protect it?
