Richard,
If you want to protect against hard drive failures then a RAID setup is
probably the best option. A RAID will ensure that you always have an
up-to-the-instant backup of all of your data in case a drive goes bad;
however, a RAID won'tstop a bug, virus, or error from screwing up your
database. If this is your production server then I would suggest that you
also invest in a secondary backup system (such as a tape drive).

Subject: RAID, miiror OR replication?
I am wanting to protect myself against future potential hard drive
failures on my database server running version 3.23.49a. Should I try
and set up a RAID, a mirror or would the best solution be to set up
MySQL replication. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
