The NASA way I am intimately familiar with. My own way involves the use of daily bootable backups to an external hard drive(s) with monthly backups to other hard drive(s) that I store off-site. No RAID. I use Synchronize X! Pro to do the backups. Only had two hard drive failures in ten years. I've used Maxtor, LaCie, and Western Digital hard drives over the years with nothing to say one is better than the others (too few failure events to be statistically useful). Never lost a bit of data (so far). Of course, I feel like I just jinxed myself. ;-) Regards, Dick On Jul 31, 2009, at 10:21 PM, Brian Reid wrote: > (snip) > * There are three fundamentally different philosophies of making > things be reliable.
