  • Page 35: Working With Raid Arrays

    RAID 1 Combines 2 or more drives into a mirrored array. The available space in the array is the capacity of a single drive. Identical data is written to each drive. If a drive is damaged, data can be recovered by replacing the damaged drive. As long as one drive in the array remains undamaged, all data in the array can be recovered.

  • Page 36: Changing Raid Mode

    Click the array to delete. Click Delete RAID Array. The "Confirm Operation" screen will open. Enter the confirmation number, then click OK. Click OK when finished.

The first time the backup job runs like a normal backup. In subsequent Overwrite (incremental) backups, files added to the source as well as files deleted from the source are kept in the backup folder.
  • Page 67 Type Files included Each time a backup is executed, management information is stored, and only files that have changed are copied or deleted. Data is retrieved from the previous backup file for files that were not changed. This is useful for making backups with limited space or for referencing status at a particular point in time (for use for data snapshot applications).
