Of course here in the upstate NY snow belt we only got 3/8" of snow
yesterday, but I learned that lesson a while ago. I've used floppies,
tapes, zip, CD-R and CD-RW for backups, but every one has failed at one
time or another. Since going to RAID 1 on my servers (even my home PC)
I can trip over the power cord (or Niagara Mohawk Power Corp. can burp)
any time I want and things just heal themselves! Sometimes I don't even
get the e-mail telling me that something happened. I highly recommend
RAID arrays. The key is the I=inexpensive.

We had a snowstorm and a power failure last night. I shut down my Debian
server but apparently not fast enough because is came up with some problems.
My server has 4 SATA disks in it with a RAID 1 setup for the disks courtesy
of my son. Since I could not ssh into the machine, I knew he would be
"blind" (he is off at school), so I shot a digital photograph of the screen
and sent it to him via email and just let it sit until I could ask him about
it.
About an hour later, I heard a couple of those network connecting type beeps
out of the machine so I tried to ssh into it and it was up and running.
Raymond checked it out later an sure enough, the corrupted files had
automatically been replaced and the system was just fine.
Can't beat that with a stick!
