| 518097 | 2007-01-21 21:24:00 | Hi, Just a question regarding RAID (mirroring). What is the expiry time/date? If I install a software and after a few days/hours and I wished I not installed it am I able to get it back? Or is RAID for disaster recovery boot ups and I should still also utilise a imaging software and copying individual files now and then :help: In that case I could consider a 3rd HDD or just partition the first HDD. Thanks. |

Use imaging software (Ghost, Acronis ...) if you want to roll back to a point in time. | gcarmich (10068) | ||
| 518099 | 2007-01-21 22:29:00 | With RAID1 mirroring it happens in real time, so as already stated by gcarmich, you need to be doing a backup of your data to another medium as well. RAID will only save you from hdd failures but if you say got a virus or you deleted something by mistake, a RAID setup won't help. |
