How RAID Devices Work

The option provides a set of drives that act as a single, high-performance drive. With this option you perform operations the same way you perform regular Arcserve Backup operations, except that you are working with a RAID media set instead of a single media drive.

A RAID set is a set of drives that share the same RAID level and act as a single, high-performance drive. When configuring a backup job with the option, you select the RAID group as your destination; this group contains all the drives configured in that RAID set.

RAID configurations typically require small computer system interface (SCSI) disk drives and may require identical drives.
