Content Type: Product Information & Documentation | Article ID: 000005652 | Last Reviewed: 12/06/2018

Intel® Rapid Recover Technology is a feature of Intel® Rapid Storage Technology (Intel® RST). It uses RAID 1 (mirroring) functionality to copy data from a designated master drive to a designated recovery drive. The master drive data can be copied to the recovery drive either continuously or on request:

Continuous: Changes made to data on the master drive while the system isn't docked are automatically copied to the recovery drive when the system is re-docked.
On request: The master drive data is restored to a previous state by copying the data on the recovery drive back to the master drive.

Note

The recovery volume can be the only volume on a system. Recovery volume capacity equals the size of the smaller of the two hard drives.
This feature isn't supported with Intel® Optane™ memory volumes

Hard drives required	2
Advantages	More control over how data is copied between master and recovery drives. Fast volume updates (only changes to the master drive since the last update are copied to the recovery drive). Member hard drive data can be viewed in Microsoft Windows Explorer*.
Disadvantage	No increase in volume capacity.
Applications	Critical data protection for mobile systems. Fast restoration of the master drive to a previous or default state.
