What I would like to have is a backup drive that I can update priodically
without having to shutdown the server. Especially one that can sit on the
shelf. That way If something happens I can switch drives and be back online
in a few minutes.

Thats some of what I need to know. I have been working on the server
backup.
I was wondering if the raid set up would do what I needed. What I am
thinking is that with Raid1, can I unplug one drive ,then plug in another
and use that as a backup disk? Will the Raid build the new drive that I
put
in place? I have read a bunch about Raid but it dont answer these
questions.
Or am I thinking wrong?
When you say "backup" disk, are you talking about having one on hand
to replace one that goes bad, or sticking a drive in there to do like
nightly backups?
'cause RAID isn't for BACKUPS.
