Day One Hardware Vs. Software DayTwo – notes Backing up your Data Day Three – notes Day Four – notes Malicious Software |
Another method that is actually pretty good, but expensive, is an external RAID drive. RAID is a technology that uses multiple hard drives to store your data in a way that if one drive fails, it can rebuild that drive from 'extra' data it has written to the rest of the drives. The nice thing about this is that you do not have to shut down the computer when a drive fails. The computer will keep running, rebuilding the 'missing' data as needed. As soon as you plug in a new Hard Drive, it will write the missing data back to that drive. Keep in mind, that when it is running with a missing, or dead drive, if any other drive were to fail, it would lo longer be able to continue. At that point all data is lost. |
