Cheers to Topaz

[RS2000CUSTOM]

When I replaced my desktop computer earlier this year I was speaking to Topaz and as like ALL people with a PC I never run back-ups etc he advised me to "mirror" a pair of drives.

Basically this means the PC runs 2 hard drives but both are identical and are run as 1 drive only the other acts as a constantly updating backup

I went for 2 x 500GB drives

Today I suffered a hard drive failure

Normally this would mean total loss of data

But as I run a mirrored system all my data was safe and sound in the 2nd drive

A quick and simple reboot with only the 1 drive in and all is well again

Off to shop on Monday to buy a new 2nd drive
