I'm planning to start a rural wireless ISP. I'm going to offer webhosting and email and other services, and I've picked out a motherboard for most of the servers (8 core Atom, up to 64 GB RAM, 6 SATA, 4 Ethernet). If a disk drive fails, I'd like to make sure no data get lost. Should I mirror-stream it to another drive, or rsync it to another computer, or both? What about giving users access to snapshots in case they mess something up?
If anyone here has done anything similar, please let me know. I probably want to talk with you off list. Pierre -- Jews use a lunisolar calendar; Muslims use a solely lunar calendar.
