Data Backup - How do you all go about it?
Posted: Mon Mar 04, 2013 3:08 pm
Hey Guys,
My harddrives are near full so along with getting some bigger ones,
I'd like to investigate whether my backup strategy is any good?
So far I have data in 3 places - internal hard drive, backup external, 2nd backup external kept off site (been a bit lazy.. It usually sits next to the other external drive).
This time around, I was thinking - 2 internal drives in RAiD 0 cOnfiguration (mirror) and an external harddrive (kept off site) that uses Windows 7 automatic backup software? (haven't used this before)
Does anyone have any experiences with this kind of setup? (I have had 2 identical drives go at exactly the same time in the past (IBM death star..)so I was thi king that the 2 internal raid drives be different makes.
Also - what's the deal with 3tb drives - been reading a lot of horror stories regarding 3tb external drives
h.a.r.r.y.a.r.v.a.n.i.t.i.s.
