Intel® Rapid Recover Technology is a feature of Intel® Matrix Storage Manager. It uses RAID 1 (mirroring) functionality to copy data from a designated master drive to a designated recovery drive. The master drive data can be copied to the recovery drive either continuously or on request.
When using the continuous update policy, changes made to the data on the master drive while the system is not docked are automatically copied to the recovery drive when the system is re-docked. When using the on request update policy, the master drive data can be restored to a previous state by copying the data on the recovery drive back to the master drive. The below table provides an overview of the advantages, disadvantages, and the typical usage of Intel® Rapid Recover Technology.
| Note |
The recovery volume can be the only volume on a system. Recovery volume capacity will equal the size of the smaller of the two hard drives. | |
| Hard Drives Required: |
2 |
| Advantage: |
More control over how data is copied between master and recovery drives; fast volume updates (only changes to the master drive since the last update are copied to the recovery drive); member hard drive data can be viewed in Microsoft Windows Explorer*. |
| Disadvantage: |
No increase in volume capacity. |
| Application: |
Critical data protection for mobile systems; fast restoration of the master drive to a previous or default state. | |
