Extending Drives

When a Protected Drive or UnProtected Drive nears capacity (or any time), it can be extended by adding more physical disks to the hard drive.

To extend a hard drive:

1           In the List View, right-click the drive to extend and select Extend Drive. Tip

2           A box with a list of all unpartitioned physical disks will appear. Select one or more disks to add to the hard drive.
