Lessons learned, don't go cheap with RAID5, especially if you are putting all your eggs in that one basket. Thumbs up to Runtime software, and there support. Thumbs down to SI and ther elack of support.
Thanks for sharing that, I'm sre it will save someone. I'll bet someone's making a backup to DVD right now ;)
But it sounds like your data is still in danger. What happens if you or one of your family make a mistake and delete the five years of family photos and *fail to notice*. Wouldn't the NAS backup faithfully overwrite the previous backup and delete the photos?
Or do you have some kind of snapshot/incremental system in place? I decided I was going to suffer something catastrophic sooner or later so I rented a colo location, put a Linux server there and run rsnapshot against it every night. If I screw something up, I'll have 7 weeks to notice it. No RAID at home for me. Up to the minute file integrity is not too important here.
