disk shadowing
If you have the disk shadowing feature, disks are added to
Meridian Mail in pairs. When the new data is written to disk,
both drives in a pair are updated at the same time with the
same information. If one of the drives in a pair fails, it can be
removed and replaced at maintenance time with minimal
disruption to service.
To enable or disable disk shadowing, follow these steps.

terminal, press the [Logon] softkey, enter the
administration password, and press <RETURN>.
