Swap one of the drives out, let the RAID rebuild. Take the one you removed to another location. Now you have a backup. Repeat with a 4th drive that you take offsite before bringing the other one back so you never have the whole collection in the same place. Problem solved - unless maybe you need a matching spare NAS chassis to read the disks. That's not a issue with software raid but it might be with a hardware controller. -- Les Mikesell lesmikes...@gmail.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
