Does anyone use RAID level 1? With the low cost of hard drives these days, it seems this would be the easiest to implement. Get a RAID controller card, a hot-swappable drive bay and an extra drive (or two). Set the controller card for RAID level 1. Put the back up disk in and let it update its mirror image overnight. Take the drive out in the morning. Next week, put in the other back up drive. We are considering a switch to Windows machines as we upgrade to new equipment. That is why I offer a suggestion that works with a home system. I haven't tried it yet on a production system. Does anyone know a reason it wouldn't work?

How do you backup your Foxboro/Dell workstations? Is anybody using Ghost to create images on CD, DVD, second HDD or to a network server? Has anybody installed a SCSI or FireWire PCI card, and used an external tape drive? Or installed an internal Tape Drive? -Regards, Brian Bates. ***************************************************************************= ************************** This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended = solely for the=20 use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.
