What is Copyback

Copyback is a data recovery operation wherein data from one disk in an array is duplicated onto another disk. Copyback is not a backup operation, but instead is used to store information such as data about the physical configuration of the disks in an array. Copyback allows complex arrays to run continuously with minimal downtime.
