Backup RAID 0

jakelovatto · 16 Aug 2010 at 20:20

Hello

I am thinking of using the following setup

2 x 500 Gb HDs in RAID 0 for OS
2 x 2 Tb HDS in RAID 1 for Data

The only question left is how to backup the RAID 0 array?

A nightly backup perhaps?

But what software/HD would I need to do this?

Thanks

*bump

any help?

Setup
2 x 500 Gb HDs in RAID 0 for OS
2 x 2 Tb HDS in RAID 1 for Data

and then a backup solution for the RAID 0 array using another hard drive. What size would it need to be and how would i successfully perform the backups.

Id like to store daily images on the backup maybe?

Thank you for the replies

I am aware of other raid configurations such as raid 10 and 01 but I can only afford the 2 disks which limits me to raid 0 or 1
Obviously im going to purchase a 3rd disk to backup the raid 0 and then options like raid 5 come into play but I want the fast access of RAID 0 with a simple backup solution.

With backing up the RAID 1s I am eventually going to invest in an external 2tb raid array with a NAS like synology or something.

Thanks for your help

So to be clear when backing up a raid 0 of 2 x 500mb
what size drive would I need and are there any special considerations?

thanks
