Choosing Utility Configuration Options
Backup Prompt
This feature makes a copy of your RAID Ready logical drive onto a separate disk
drive. Because a RAID Ready consists of only one physical drive, there is no
redundancy to protect against drive failure. The Backup feature provides that
protection. The backup drive is monitored as a logical drive in the RAIDXpert
interface.
When you have a RAID Ready logical drive on your system and you plug in a
new disk drive, RAIDXpert will ask you if you want to make a backup of the RAID
Ready logical drive. Capabilities include:
• Bootable drives
• Automatic incremental backups
• Backup continues after system reboot
• Hot unplug and plug-in of backup drive
