Chapter 4 Storage Configuration & Expansion Snap Servers are preconfigured as a single RAID 5, with a single volume encompassing 80 percent of RAID capacity, and a single share pointing to the volume. The default storage configuration reserves 20 percent of the data space for snapshots. If the default configuration is appropriate for your needs, you need only create the directory structure, set share access permissions, and (optionally) schedule snapshots. You may have requirements that demand a different configuration. For example, if the information on a Snap Server is mission-critical but infrequently accessed, creating a RAID 1 may be a more suitable configuration. In another example, some administrators prefer to keep certain sensitive data, such as financial records, in a separate file system for added security.

Snap Servers are preconfigured as a single RAID 5, with a single volume
encompassing 80 percent of RAID capacity, and a single share pointing to
the volume. The default storage configuration reserves 20 percent of the
data space for snapshots. If the default configuration is appropriate for your
needs, you need only create the directory structure, set share access
permissions, and (optionally) schedule snapshots.
You may have requirements that demand a different configuration. For
example, if the information on a Snap Server is mission-critical but
infrequently accessed, creating a RAID 1 may be a more suitable
configuration. In another example, some administrators prefer to keep
certain sensitive data, such as financial records, in a separate file system for
added security.
