NetMAXFAQ : Backup / Restore : Does NetMAX support backups to network volumes or a secondary hard drive?
	Applies to: NetMAX 2.x - 4.0x address-suppressed
	No. NetMAX only supports backups to tape, not to network volumes or a secondary hard drive. NetMAX for Toshiba Magnia's includes automatic disk mirroring. This means that if you install an empty, same sized disk in the second hard drive bay on the Magnia, NetMAX will automatically sync to it. This way, if the first hard drive fails, you can remove it, and put the second drive in its place and be up and running again. This failover support is a zero-administrative method of backing up these machines, which is even more important do their lack of tape drive support. We recommend that all Magnia users have a second drive installed for this purpose, unless they require that drive for data storage. To enable the drive for data storage instead of the default mirroring, please see the FAQ answer for that. address-suppressed
