RAID Back Up and Restore Device Selection

Fault tolerance lets you continue your backup or restore even in the event of media or drive failure. The use of RAID 0 or RAID 5 improves backup and restore performance by distributing data over multiple drives. RAID displays in the Arcserve Backup interface as a virtual drive and the special processing of the RAID backup is transparent.

• To back up data to a RAID device, select the RAID grouping as the destination in the Backup window and follow your standard backup procedures.
• To restore data from a RAID device, select the RAID grouping as the source in the Restore window and follow your standard backup procedures.
