Question: How often do you have hard drive failures of your music
server?
    
- 1 or more a year
- 2 or more in mutliple years
- Never
- All the time

I'm yet another (almost) 20 years IT experience person to post in this
thread.  Many people are suggesting raid as a good way to go and I
don't disagree with them at all - raid is a good option.

However, in my home setup, where I'm in the fortunate position of
having several machines (I guess that's not that uncommon these days),
I just run a scheduled nightly copy using Windows own robocopy software
to another drive on a separate machine.  The initial copy takes a while
if you have a big collection, but with the right command line switches
in place, subsequent copies only update changed files, keeping the 2
drives in sync in a matter of a few moments.
