You can enable the Recovery advanced software in the MegaRAID Storage Manager software. When you enable Recovery, you create two virtual drives, one as a Snapshot Base or a source and the other as a Snapshot Repository. The base virtual drive contains the data that is stored in the repository virtual drive.
1. Click the Logical tab on the main menu window for the Logical view.

A base virtual drive and a repository virtual drive can be associated with the same drives or a common set of drives, or the two virtual drives can be located on two completely separate set of drives. Using a separate set of drives for the base virtual drive and the repository virtual drives provides a performance advantage over using a common set of drives.
