HI,

I am trying to enable shadow copies on our file server, with a raid 5 array.
When I try to select the volume the shadow copies will be stored , it only
gives me the option of the drive that has the original files on. There is no
option for any other physical disks.

Can someone please advise?

Thanks
 
Re: Shadow Copies

Sofware raid? If you see it's enabled on the partition in the explorer
you'll be OK.

Re: Shadow Copies

Hi,

No , hardware raid..

The data I want shadow copies of is on one raid 5 array, and I want the
copies stored on another raid 5 array..

Is this possible?

Re: Shadow Copies

Yes, just change the storage location, you'll find that under the settings
button of Shadow Copies (Storage Area)

Re: Shadow Copies

Well - perhaps a stupid question if you have the box to look at - is that
other array configured in partitions and formatted with NTFS?

Cheers
