Either RAID1 with a couple of spare drives or RAID5 across 3 discs with a hot spare. I assume disc capacity is not an issue. If the system supports RAID 6 that would be ideal as you will have two drives and two parity sets so could cope with 2 simultaneous drive failures compared to 1 for raid1 and raid5. -- _____________________________________________________________________ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?
