Re: Remote mirror with XP Pro
Dude, you have some issues. I can build a mirrored volume just fine on a server. I can establish RAID 5 as well if you're interested. This is the first time I've wanted to mirror a disk on a desktop. Started to, and realized I couldn't. Started reading why I couldn't, and saw a reference to mirroring data to a remote disk, and it specifically called it a mirror, not a copy or a sync. Thought I'd ask the group here about it. Learning something new, that's all, but thanks for your concern. On Jan 8, 2009, at 10:57 AM, NTSysAdmin wrote: It wasn't a comment, it was a question.

RE: Remote mirror with XP Pro
You can theoretically mirror a block device remotely over Ethernet using iSCSI for example, but I think the catch is that mirroring at the block level remotely is much more involved and requires some stable network topology, I am sure you would be better set mirroring at the file level. You can't create a r1 array on a WinXP box anyway IIRC, and I think were you got confused was this: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314343 What that very poorly written article meant to say was you could remotely manage a server and create the array on the server *from* a winxp box.

Re: Remote mirror with XP Pro
Sorry everyone. Long day so far. I should never have responded to this again, and will let it go. Thanks to all who suggested using robocopy to accomplish this goal (it will work nicely) and to all those who have helped in the past. You guys rock!

This is the first time I've wanted to mirror a disk on a desktop. Started to, and realized I couldn't. Started reading why I couldn't, and saw a reference to mirroring data to a remote disk, and it specifically called it a mirror, not a copy or a sync. Thought I'd ask the group here about it. Learning something new, that's all, but thanks for your concern. On Jan 8, 2009, at 10:57 AM, NTSysAdmin wrote: It wasn't a comment, it was a question.

Re: Remote mirror with XP Pro
You're talking about 2 different kinds of mirroring. The first kind is a software RAID1; this is not available in desktop editions of Windows unless you use a hardware RAID card. You do it in Server 2003 the exactly the same way you do it in 2000 Server. Server 2008 is pretty similar. The second kind is replicating data on one drive to another on a different computer. This is not RAID1. There are many utilities that will perform such synchronization. robocopy from the Windows Server 2003 resource kit is one such tool and does a very very good job.
