If you write data to your RAID Ready drive without the backup drive in your
system, RAIDXpert will automatically update the data on the backup drive when
you insert it the next time.
You can set up your RAID Ready backup drive in one of two ways:
• By clicking a popup box
• By selecting a physical drive
Set up by Clicking a Popup Box
When you plug an unformatted physical drive into your system, RAIDXpert
displays a popup box:
Click the Yes button to make a backup of your RAID Ready logical drive to the
physical drive that you just plugged into your system.
Set up by Selecting a Physical Drive
This option requires one unassigned physical drive connected to the AMD
Controller.
To backup your RAID Ready by selecting a drive:
1. Click Logical Drive View in Tree View.
2. Click the Logical Drive whose name you want to change.
3. Click the Backup tab in Management View.
4. Click a Single Disk (unassigned physical drive) to use as the backup drive.
Available drives have a white frame. Selected drives have a red frame.
5. Click the Start Now button.
The data on your RAID Ready drive is copied to the backup drive.
