I use a nifty program called mirrordir at home, i have thousands of
MP3's DIVX movies, programs documents 40Gig worth. I run mirror dir at
midnight every night and it keeps a mirror of the working drive. The
great thing is it only copies new stuff and is very efficient, also if a
file gets deleted accidentally it is not lost and can be retrieved if it
is done before midnight. Disk mirroring is good but i like the delay
factor using mirrordir.
Something to think about anyway !
