Backup of Data through RAID Protection

The drives in your ix2 are protected using a built-in, pre-configured technology that redundantly stores data
across the drives. This technology, known as RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks), enables a
series of drives to act together as a single storage system. RAID configurations that provide data
redundancy preserve data integrity on the system if a drive fails and is replaced.
While RAID technology provides fault tolerance, it is not a true backup. It is strongly
recommended to always have another copy of your data that is not stored on the ix2.
