You can either transcribe the contents of one media type to another media 

type, or reclaim (defragment) media. During the transcription or 

reclamation process, SNSM uses two drives to transcribe one media to 

another media, file by file.

 

For SNSM to successfully transcribe one media to another 

media, two drives must be online. If only one drive is 

online, the transcription or reclamation process fails.
