Explanation

Disk Management is the Windows built-in utility used to configure disks, volumes, and software RAID arrays. To provide data redundancy with two identical drives, the technician would use Disk Management to create a mirrored volume (RAID 1), where data is written simultaneously to both drives so that if one fails, no data is lost. Device Manager manages hardware drivers, System Configuration (msconfig) controls startup settings, and Data Sources (ODBC) manages database connections - none of these provide disk redundancy.
