Re: Hard Disk Organization



The deal with RAID is that it only protects you from hardware failure, not
software failure. If you accidentally delete a file or someone hacks your
machine, the data will be erased from both sides of the mirror.

Personally I think software failure is more likely than hardware (unless you
have those IBM 75xx drives).

You still can use two drives instead of a tape backup, just make an daily
incremental backup to the backup drive plus a weekly full backup.
