raid is a good solution for avoiding data loss due to hard disk failure (at different rates depending on the raid type ). But it wont help you if someone accidentally or on purpose delete files. Raid will happily replicate the deletion across all your disks :)
of course, that's why i use rsync, and use cp -lpR to make multiple generations on backup server every day. i delete the oldest when there are out of space.
but gmirror+ggated/c is a good idea for those having more than 1 server and gigabit interfaces - do mirrorring spanning different machines (like mirror of first on second, mirror of second - on first).
PLUS BACKUPS.
the server back online" step ;) it's too late by then to realise you should've backed up /etc and /var/ , for example.
best to do exclude - instead of include - backup list _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
