Shadow Backups over RAIDs
Shadowing a hard drive as a backup is preferable to RAIDs. The reason is a raid keeps an exact copy of the source drive. Something gets deleted; the RAID deletes the other volume. Shadow just adds data. Shadow does not delete data if the source gets deleted. With backups the more data the better.
I recommend a nice inexpensive program from NTI called Shadow. This simple program is designed for real time changes. I’ve gotten reports of the program shutting itself down. Check it; make sure the icon is showing. Test it, add a file to the source and see if it’s been copied to your backup.
Shadow sells for $30 + tax and is well worth the expense. Don’t forget to visit us at http://www.abacuscomputer.us/
