Disable RAID
« on: January 12, 2009, 09:31:50 AM »
I have RAID1 setup (and working well under v1.06) and would like to disable it in favor of regular backups between the drives.  Is there a stable procedure for doing this that will not destroy the data in my drives?

Thanks,
Mike

Remove one drive - left preferably, format the remaining drive as a single volume and then replace the removed drive.  Your data should be intact and available on Volume_2

RAID1 is for disk redundancy - NOT data backup - don't confuse the two.
