Therefore i will backup the size of 12TB of one Brick and take it out of the Distributed GlusterFS. The question is now: How whould i remove it from the Vol?
 " gluster volume remove-brick <volname> <brick> start " should migrate all the data from the decommissioned brick to
  the remaining bricks.
  check the status by "gluster volume remove-brick <volname> <brick> status " , if the status says "completed" you can commit the op by
"gluster volume remove-brick <volname> <brick> commit".

Make sure that you have enough space in the remaining bricks and there are no failures during migration before committing.
