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 Drobo's face plate.
Q. How do I back-up data on Drobo?
A. Data on Drobo is intrinsically "backed-up", but of course that doesn't
protect against fire, theft or accidentally deleted files. You can
duplicate data from Drobo onto any other media through your
computer, or attach a second Drobo to your computer, duplicate the
data, and move it to a different secure location (such as office or
home). Please visit our Best Practices site at

Q. Is there a foolproof way to protect my data on the Drobo?
A. If the Drobo 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.) While the Drobo does protect your
data from a single drive failure, in the unlikely event that another
drive fails at the same time, then your data can be lost. (Drobo S has
a feature, dual disk redundancy, which protects against two
simultaneous drive failures. See page 18.)
Many customers use another Drobo, to back up the data on their
Drobo so that they have two copies of their data. It all depends on
how important this data is to you and/or how easy it would be to
rebuild or recreate this data. When most companies back up their
data, they store the second (or even a third) copy of the data at a
different location. This way, they are prepared to be back in business
fairly quickly should something happen to the office or data center.

Q. Can I share my Drobo between different computers such as a Mac
and PC?
A. There are two ways to go about sharing a Drobo between computers
with different operating systems. The most convenient way to share
Drobo between different computers is through the network via
DroboShare. Doing so eliminates the need for each computer to
understand the format of Drobo and allows you the flexibility to
share Drobo when you want to or attach it directly to your computer.
