Auto Mirroring
By using RAID 1, you can duplicate data between two hard drives. A minimum of two HDDs are
required for auto mirroring (RAID 1). The Auto Mirror function allows you to enable or disable the
Auto Mirror function available for RAID 1 mode.
A second hard drive must be installed to enable the auto mirroring function. See Disk Mange-
ment.
Note:
Auto mirroring is only available for RAID 1 mode. Depending on the formatted capacity of
RAID 1, the rebuilding of your second drive for mirroring may take several hours. Do not
turn off the power or interrupt the system during this process to prevent damage to the
system or your hard drives.
The auto mirroring setup will erase the hard drives data. Make sure you backup all data
before starting this process.
To enable Auto Mirroring:
1. After installing the hard drives, make sure your OMNINAS is powered on.
2. Log in to the web interface screen.
3. Click on Storage-> Auto Mirror to view the enable options.
4. Select Enable and click Save to proceed.
