Backup Exec created a disk group and designated a hot spare based on the number of drives installed in the 
appliance. Next, Backup Exec determined the total amount of disk space available in the disk group. ESG Lab 
was then prompted to confirm the creation of virtual disks. Using the Automatic Configuration policy, Backup 
Exec created a RAID 5 virtual disk from the physical disks it detected in the DL2000 appliance. Six mouse 
clicks and ten minutes later, Backup Exec was configured and ready to protect the application servers in the ESG 
Lab test bed.
