The raid 1 setup is what at least a few of us on the list use. For me, it works like this: My filesystem is raid 1 (via md) with 3 disks. Two of the disks are internal and one is in an sata hot-swap enclosure. Whenever I want to take a backup offsite, I shut down the machine, pull the third drive, replace it with a new one, and start it back up. Then I just need to tell md to rebuild onto the new drive and then take the old one offsite. I always have at least two active drives in the raid, so I don't have to worry about a disk failure during the rebuild. -- Bowie ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
