RAID configurations. The Stripe and Mirror RAID modes of your My Book
VelociRaptor Duo device are software configured, and the backup disk
encryption feature is not compatible with software-configured RAID devices.
If you want to use your device as a backup device with Time Machine on
Lion or Mountain Lion, you can either:
• Use it in the default striped RAID configuration without backup
encryption.
• Convert it to a mirrored RAID configuration and use it without backup
encryption.
• Convert it to individual drives and use one of them with or without
backup encryption.
(See “Changing the Device Configuration” on page 13.)
• If you do not want to use the Time Machine backup software, or if you want to

- Cancel on Snow Leopard
• If you do want to use the Time Machine backup software, click Use as Backup
Disk.
