>>If you keep 2 separate disks then some sort of mirroring app (File

Here's a web site that explains all of the RAID options:
http://www.acnc.com/04_00.html

Several times on this list I have recommended a Level1 RAID.  In 2002 I had
a catastrophic hard drive crash... lost 80 gigs of photos.  I went to my
local computer parts dealer to buy a big hard drive to add to my system... I
told the techie that my plan was to manually dump all of my new files to the
seperate drive at the end of each day.  He said "why not put in a Level1
RAID so it will do that automatically?"   "What? You can do that
automatically???"..... I now have 2 servers each with 4 120Gig physical
drives... the mirroring brings the total storage down to 240Gigs per server.
I'm not backed up against fire and theft... but it sure gives me peace of
mind that a hard drive crash won't be a problem.
