RAID 1 Failures
Ironic. The same time I”m reviewing online backup solutions my OS X software RAID 1 set for my 2 external firewire drives goes to all hell and gets uber corrupted.
Luckily I was able to extract the data with Data Rescue II for OS X even though I wasn’t able to mount the drives. Pretty stupid, but funny since I”m always telling people not to rely on RAID 1 alone as it is not a backup solution but a hardware failure solution. I had originally used BingoDisk as my online backup but as it turns out, the speed from this side of the planet pretty much makes backup up 250GB of data online a joke. Mozy.com to the rescue.
So now I’ve come up with a new, 3-tier backup solution that is actually quite simple, cost effective and easy to setup. More on that in the next post.
