Hi Matt,
Don't know if it's recommended or not, but I've been doing it for close
to 3 years on my OpenSolaris laptop, it saved me a few times like last
week when my internal drive died :)

Hi,
Just wondering whether mirroring a USB drive with main laptop disk for
backup purposes is recommended or not.
Current setup, single root pool set up on 200GB internal laptop drive :
$ zpool status
pool: rpool
state: ONLINE
scrub: non requested
config :
NAME STATE READ WRITE CKSUM
rpool ONLINE 0 0 0
c5t0d0s0 ONLINE 0 0 0
I have a 320GB external USB drive which I'd like to configure as a
mirror of this root pool (I know it will only use 200GB of the eternal
one, not worried about that).
Plan would be to connect the USB drive, once or twice a week, let it
resilver, and then disconnect again. Connecting USB drive 24/7 would
AFAIK have performance issues for the Laptop.
This would have the added benefit of the USB drive being bootable.
- Recommended or not ?
- Are there known issues with this type of setup ?
cheers
Matt
