I want to replace all my HDD in my NAS. All my data is backed up so that is not an issue.
Do I just remove the old drives and fit the new drives as if its a brand new unit?
or is there something else I should do to reset the NAS?

Re: replacing all HDD
If you backup all of your data externally, yes, simply turn NAS off, replace all disks, turn NAS on, follow the setup wizard.

Re: replacing all HDD
another question.
If I backup .@plugins and install the apps on my new drives then over write .@plugins will all be back as it was, with a few exceptions like folder locations but I can fix that

I think it depends. If there are some configurations stored onto database, you won't be able to restore them by this way.
