HOW TO BACKUP A MODIFIED HARD DRIVE
To backup a modified hard drive, please follow the steps listed in the instructions
below:
Follow the steps below carefully to prevent data loss.
1. First, extract one of Mirrored or Cloned disks to perform the necessary
data modification with Portable Enclosure.
It is highly recommended to physically label or identify the taken out
hard drive as “Modified Disk” or “Source Disk”.
2. Next, delete the RAID mode in the remaining disk(s) inside the RAID
System via RAID MASTER or LCM Panel. Please refer to the “LCM” or
“Advance Mode Menu” sections for more details.
3. Then, a popup window will appear stating, “…: Deleting RAID will result in
the specified volumes being deleted and the data will be lost. Do you want
to continue it?” Press the “Yes” icon to continue deleting the RAID mode.
4. The Information Message will appear to reflect the deleting request.
5. Now, the RAID MASTER will reflect the Target Disk as “Unreleased“,
which is now a new hard drive without any data inside.
6. Finally, insert the Modified hard drive into the RAID System. Re-assign the
new “unreleased” hard drive(s) that the RAID mode has already been
deleted before via Advanced Mode Menu of the RAID MASTER as
“Spare”. Once completed, the RAID System will begin Automatic Rebuild.
Please refer to the “Adding or Changing a Spare” section for more details.
