Re: Backup--OT

[Bill Troop billtroop@xxxxxxxx]

Harry, I wouldn't do software RAID. I am convinced there are problems.
Also, if there is a disk corruption problem, it will simply be duplicated
- - on either software or hardware RAID 1. (It's for that reason that you
can run chkdsk on a RAID 1 volume, but not on a RAID 0, 5, etc.).
In the end, I prefer the system I have, where ShadowProtect does
incremental backups every 180 minutes, so I cannot lose more than that.
Once I have figured out how to boot SP's recovery environment on this new
computer, I will be happy. I am about to try a USB stick boot.


I asked an engineer friend of mine at LaCie (now Seagate) if there was a
speed penalty when using a (properly configured) external Tbolt drive as
a boot drive, and he replies, none whatever. This may also be true for
USB 3 - - I have to verify.
