Pre-operating system mode The time between when a computer boots (starts up) and the operating system has not yet taken over control of the computer. Primary partition In Windows and MS-DOS operating systems, a hard disk can be divided into a maximum of four primary partitions; or three primary partitions plus an extended partition, which in turn can contain one or more logical drives. RAID See "Redundant Array of Independent Disks (RAID)" on page 17. Redundant Array of Independent Disks (RAID) A method of combining several hard disks to make one large volume. RAID configurations are typically used on a network file server to achieve faster access, greater protection against disk failure, or both. Restore The process of using an image or backup to revert to a previous hard disk state. SCSI (Small Computer System Interface) An interface technology used to integrate a disk drive and a computer. Service partition A hidden, locked partition on the local hard disk used for backup and restore operation. Service partitions are tightly compressed to save disk space and comprise the base image, cumulative backup, and most recent backup. Site License Key IT Administrators looking to access Rapid Restore's enterprise-level functionality can do so by registering for a Site License Key. A Site License Key enables IT Administrators to efficiently configure, deploy, and manage Rapid Restore in an enterprise environment. Snapshot A snapshot backup replaces your existing cumulative backup with optimized cumulative backup data. This optimized backup consolidates all incremental backup data (cumulative and most recent) into one cumulative backup. In addition, the snapshot process deletes the most recent backup. Snapshot backups should be performed at significant checkpoints such as after the installation of a new application, creation of a new database, etc. USB Drive USB (Universal Serial Bus) drive is a plug-and-play hard drive that connects to your computer through a USB interface.

backup
to

hard
disk
state.
SCSI
(Small
Computer
System
Interface)
An
interface
technology
used
to
integrate

Service
partition
A
hidden,
locked
partition
on
the
local
hard
disk
used
for
backup
and
restore
operation.
Service
partitions
are
tightly
compressed

consolidates
