Disk Management utility

When the Advanced Volume Management button on the Volumes page is selected, the Disk
Management utility is opened after administrator login.
The Disk Management tool is a system utility for managing hard disks and the volumes, or partitions,
that they contain. Disk Management is used to initialize disks, create volumes, format volumes with the
FAT, FAT32, or NTFS file systems, and create fault-tolerant disk systems. Most disk-related tasks can be
preformed in Disk Management without restarting the system or interrupting users; most configuration
changes take effect immediately. A complete online help facility is provided with the Disk Management
Utility for assistance in using the product.
Option
Manage logical drives and view information about managed
systems, controllers, disk groups, and so on.
Manage disk space usage by enabling quotas, scheduling disk
defragmentation, and performing detailed volume management
using the Manage item.
Manage shadow copies of shared folders on the volume.
Shadow copies are read-only copies of shared data that provide
users with a way to view, and, if necessary, restore to previous
versions of files.
