Hi Guys,

Some of you might know ONE of my SATA HDD's died. Unfortunatley, it was the one with the data.
Anywho, I was wondering what is the best solution regarding data storage and  backup. I was thinking of a NAS or a RAID.
Don't know much about RAID and have worked with a few NAS's in the past. The RAID option sounds like a good project to take on, as I have a few spare machine COLLECTING dust and it would be good to build a storgae machine. Or should I go down the NAS path and just buy a QNAP or somehting like that.

Thoughts?

CHEERS,
IvanRAID-1 is good for a machine that must be up and running 24/7.  It's not intended for data backup.  NAS is an acceptable backup solution.  It depends on how much data you have & how accessible you want it to be from more than one computer or location.  I use multiple backup media for data, i.e. internal &external hard drive, internal & external card reader with SDHC card.  Also image BACKUPS of the entire boot partition to external USB drives.I personally think having a regular backup regimen imaging your HDD's to a seperate partition and then burning them say once a Month for solid backups would be a much more cost-effective solution...
