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
