RAID 1 only "protects your data" from one very narrow risk, and that is HDD failure. It's useless for other risks such as data corruption or deletion because of software or user error (RAID 1 just mirrors that to the other disk), zapped HDDs because of power surges, and other common risks such as fire and theft.
If you really want to protect your data, you need a separate backup drive. Or multiple separate backup drives. It/they could be an external USB drives or network drives. And you should store at least one copy in a different location, such as your workplace or a friend's or relative's place. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=98350 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
