Using the second disk drive

NOTE: This process is commonly referred to as mirroring.
However, it should not be confused with RAID mirroring, where all
files are constantly mirrored on a second disk drive, which can
significantly affect performance.
You can specify when you would like to take a snapshot of the
system. The process of copying all files from one disk drive to
the other can have an effect on server performance, and can
take several hours (on a large, full disk). Therefore, the
recommended schedule is to have the disk drive snapshot
operation automatically performed once every night at
midnight.
If you use the second disk drive for snapshots, it must be at
least the same size as your primary disk drive.
2 You can also configure the second disk drive as extra file
storage.
If you do this, the second disk drive will appear as the
directory “2ndDisk,” and can be reached by browsing in
network neighborhood. The second disk drive is configured as
a generally available disk drive – any account can place files
on it and access its contents (similar to the public directory).
Second disk drives are automatically configured for snapshots
as the default, unless you change the configuration.
Configuring the second disk drive for snapshots
To configure a second disk drive:
1 From a client computer, click the Admin icon to start the
Administration Web site.
2 Select the System tab and click the 2nd Disk menu item.
If the second disk drive has been installed properly and is
recognized, the following screen appears.
