Raid 1 Linux?

Post by ayu »

Well, I'm thinking of buying a new 500 GB disk, and then use RAID 1 on the one I already have and the new one, so that I get a safe backup of my data.

My question is, has someone done it? and can anyone recommend any guides or articles about it. Seeing that I want to backup the data that is already there, I don't want to make a mistake and fuck it all up ^^

Well I am going to implement RAID soon! I have a 500GB HD and another one 160GB. Later I am going to change the 160GB with a 500GB but right now I do not have another 500GB.

I am going to set up my linux server that runs on LAN as NAS. So I could use VNC to back up all my data to it. At least that is my idea.
We will either find a way, or make one.
