Secondary disk drive usage

A second disk drive can be used in two different ways, depending on your network
needs.
1 A second disk drive can be configured to contain periodic snapshots of your primary
disk drive.
This snapshot mechanism makes a complete copy of the entire primary disk drive
on a periodic basis. If something goes wrong with your primary disk drive, you can
move the secondary disk drive to the primary disk drive's slot. The system will
resume operation with all files intact as of the last time a snapshot was taken. For
more information, see
page 172.
