moving vinum disks

I have a concatenated 2 drives together to make 1 large disk using
vinum. Did this last year or something like that and haven't touched it
since...
I wish to move my vinum disks to another computer, but I really don't
want to lose any information. So I want to ask from someone who has
done this, instead of just trusting myself to read the manpage
correctly. Don't get me wrong, I have read the manpage, but if I lose
this data I will kick myself, hard. Unfortunately I don't have enough
storage space anywhere else to do a full backup...
my vinum config is this:
drive d1 device /dev/ad2s1e
drive d2 device /dev/ad3s1e
volume tank
plex org concat
sd length 0 drive d1
sd length 0 drive d2
To complicate matters, I wish to add another drive, but from what I
understand I cannot add another drive without reformatting all of them,
correct?
Any help is appreciated,
