I run 5 linux boxes and 2 NT servers on a network. All servers have 9G
scsi drives in them. Currently we back up the most important data to DDS3
tape..about 11G. We would like a better solution to this for full
redundancy. We thought about putting another 9G in each server and doing
software raid1 (on linux at least, dunno how we could do this in NT)
So we thought, ok that solves us if we have a hardware (drive) problem,
but what if it's software that gets corrupted along the way, or something
gets installed that on reboot will break it. Then you got 2 exact copies
of bad data. For example..our 1 NT server was up for like a month and a
half, I rebooted it one day and it never came back up. It wasn't a
hardware problem, but something with windows. Now if i was doing raid 1,
it wouldn't matter, i'd still have a windows that wont boot on both
drives.
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
