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

“Installing the second disk drive as the primary disk drive” on
page 195
