Fortunately my brother backed all of them up just a month and a half ago. He needed work so I had him back up ALL my stuff to DVD.
Money well spent.

RAID? If you RAID - use 5. RAID 1 and 2 are worthless.Comment

Why don't you have your host run daily back-ups? I always stress the importance of a daily back-up with my paysite clients. Your paysites are your cash crop, why risk such a thing?Originally posted by DonovanPhillipsVacares - Web Hosting, Domains, O365, Security & More - Paxum and BTC Accepted

Yep you have to have your raid5 drives even backed up with another backup if the info is very important. We double back up all the time

Most people have the wrong raid drive setup. Raid was "supposed" to be for backup purposes (i..e the data is written to 2 drives instead of 1 so you have a backup) but it seems most people use it to make 2 drives look like 1 bigger drive eg. 2 120G drives appear as 1 big 240G drive.. that's just asking for trouble.. big trouble..Originally posted by DonovanPhillipsComment

Man, I used a raid 5 and some cheapo fans in my machine failed.. 3 drives ate it. lost everything on the array. Never thought that would happen112.020.756Comment

Is it a large virtual, or mirrored drive?Originally posted by DonovanPhillips
You can use RAID for striping which basically doubles the read and write speed of the array since it combines two physical drives into one virtual (double sized) drive.
The other version of low end RAID is mirroring, which writes everything to both physical drives. One can fail and you still have a perfect copy on the second.
Sounds like you may have had a striping setup if one drive dying killed the array... personally I would only use striping if I needed fast scratch space, not for permanent storage.Comment

i run raid 0 on my main desktop - idea is for faster access times to the data. good for video editing.

RAID 0. This actually makes your drive array 1/2 as reliable as running a single drive. But twice as fast.Originally posted by DonovanPhillips
RAID 1 is what you should use for redundancy. This way the 2nd drive mirrors the first, giving you twice as much reliability.Comment

You need at least a RAID5 set up, minimum of three drives but I would go at least 4, the server will see the drive as one large drive. If you lose a drive the server will stay up, just unplug the bad and install the new and no one will know the difference.Originally posted by DonovanPhillips
If you do Raid make sure it's RAID5 or 10
Now if you lose two drives in the Raid at the same time, and they are in a row then you are fucked.
We run Raid5 on all of our servers since 1998, we have only lost one Raid5 set since then.Comment

I thought the purpose of RAID was that you don't lose data?
Although I did learn the hard way not to mix RAID and mysql....that was a fuckin nightmaresig too bigComment

Fifty years from now, I'll still be laughing at that quote.
Nice save on the backups
