If a hard drive crashing is your primary concern, a RAID solution is your best bet - although for the I/O requirements (perf and cap) of asterisk, you are better off with RAID-1 rather than RAID-5, IMHO. If you are interested in protecting yourself or your customers from the other 80% cause of failures, well......_mmmmmm, RAID isn't going to help much (hint - think human eror).

I have to back-up a system so that even if the HD crashes I can get the sytem back up within a few minutes. I am not to concerned about dropping calls but I would have to keep voice mail and configuration details intact. So my question is .....is it better to have two boxes one with fail over to the spare or is it better to use a hardware RAID configuration with its performance hit.? Any suggestions welcome ....
