I stay away from RAID for personal or small business uses. Tape, as long as the person doing the backups practices restoring from them, are still a nice way to get data backup off-site. (Backup is one thing; recovery is Everything!)
Thank you, Mark Snyder -----Original Message----- I avoid both tape and RAID. I consider them significantly less reliable than a modern hard drive. Their time has passed. ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
