Rapid
Recover Technology (Intel
®
RRT)
Intel Rapid Recover technology utilizes RAID 1 (mirroring) functionality to copy data
from a designated master drive to a designated recovery drive. The master and
recovery drives must span 100 percent of the available hard drive space of an array,
and only one recovery volume can be present on a system.
You can select whether you want the master drive data to be copied to the recovery
drive continuously or on request. When using the Continuous Update policy, changes
made to the data on the master drive while the recovery drive is disconnected or
offline are automatically copied to the recovery drive when it is reconnected.
When using the Update On Request policy, the master drive data can be restored to a
previous state by copying the data on the recovery drive back to the master drive.
