Protecting Your Data
Follow these guidelines to protect your data against potential disasters:
During Normal Operation
Always:
Back up your Iomega StorCenter Pro
As with any computer hardware or peripheral, it is highly recommended
that you back up your StorCenter Pro. A backup can be performed either
directly to a backup device or to another server over a TCP/IP network.
Use an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS)
To protect your StorCenter Pro device against power loss and/or power
surges, an external UPS device is recommended.
Have a spare StorCenter Pro hot-swappable hard drive available
Some RAID configurations allow a single hard drive to be replaced while
in normal operation. As a result, Iomega recommends that you have a
spare hard drive available in the event of a hard drive failure. This will
permit a faster return to normal performance speeds.
Enable email alert notifications
The StorCenter Pro has been designed with an email alert notification
system. During initial device setup, specify the administrator's email
address and an appropriate SMTP server.

In the Event of a Hard Drive Failure
Always:
Verify the failed hard drive number
Before removing a hard drive, verify the location of the failed drive by
checking email notifications, administration UI alerts and logs. If an
additional functioning drive (other than the failed drive) is removed, data
loss will result!
