Q. What happens if I initially formatted my DroboPro or DroboElite as
a 2TB volume and then add more than 2TB of protected capacity?
A. If you format DroboPro/DroboElite for a certain volume size (e.g.,
2TB volume during initial format) and then add more storage
capacity than can be contained in that volume (for example, you add
one or more 1.5TB drives), you will need to use Volume
Management to create a new volume.
If you want to maintain the data all on a single volume rather than
two volumes, you'll need to migrate the data to the new larger
volume. If you have sufficient capacity, you can do this on your
DroboPro/DroboElite using Volume Management. Otherwise, you
will have to copy all your data to another storage device, reformat
your DroboPro/DroboElite and then copy the data back.
Note: Windows XP has a limitation of 2TB as the maximum volume size. In
this case, you will have to create a new volume for any additional storage
added beyond the 2TB volume size.
Q. Will the magnets that hold the face plate on endanger my data?
A. No. In fact, the magnets inside your hard drive(s) are much stronger
and closer to the hard drive media than the face plate.
Q. How do I back-up data on DroboPro/DroboElite?
A. Data on DroboPro/DroboElite is intrinsically "backed-up," but of
course that doesn't protect against fire, theft or accidentally deleted
files. You can duplicate data onto any other media through your
computer or attach a second Drobo storage device to your
computer, duplicate the data, and move it to a different secure
location. For more information, please visit our Best Practices site at
www.drobo.com/support/best_practices.
Q. Is there a foolproof way to protect my data on the
DroboPro/DroboElite?
A. If the DroboPro/DroboElite is the only source of your data, then that
would be considered your "primary" storage. The only way to fully
protect your data is to maintain a true backup. (A "backup" implies a
secondary source of your data.) DroboPro and DroboElite both have
a dual disk redundancy feature which protects against two
simultaneous drive failures. See page 23.)
