It bears repeating - RAID is not backup. Not even "temporary" backup. Backup means having another set of data independent of the first. You don't get this from RAID. I don't mean to sound patronizing - It's clear to me that you understand this, but I worry that others reading might not. Mistaken deletions are the main reason I don't like RAID for my situation. Loss of data is far more likely to come from fat fingering than it is from hardware failure. My nightly rsync to another internal HD gives me at least a few hours to detect and undo any mistakes before they propagate to the second drive. With RAID I get no such grace period. -- jsprag ------------------------------------------------------------------------ jsprag's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14437 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=61314 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
