Using Best Practices for Protecting Data

While Drobo 5N2 protects your data from a single drive failure and concurrent 2 drive failures (when

used in Dual Disk Redundancy setting) our data can still be lost. Drive head crash, damage to the

whole 5N2 device and disk pack, files corrupted before being saved to the Drobo 5N2, unsafe

shutdowns, and other traumatic events can result in data loss.

So to know more specific guidelines on how to best protect your data, please visit our Best Practices

page. For additional information for professionals (Photographers, Videographers, etc.), please see

Photographers, Here’s A Bulletproof Backup Method Using Drobo.

Note:

To help protect your data, if you are unsure on how to proceed when using your Drobo

5N2, it is very important that you review the Online User Guide for your product, review our

Knowledge Base articles, or contact Drobo Support.
