Cool ur gonna use RAID ^^ Which type tho?
By the way is it cheaper than buying a single large hard disk?

A backup is created every time something is written - you backuo is up to date - up to the minute

aka RAID 1 :)
So does it cost more or less to do RAID than just buying a single larger disk?

You can create 2 raid partitions on a single disk. It costs no more

use this software Final data enterprise 2.0 That is..IF YOU NEED! ;) (if you lost your backup)
It will recover any data that has been permanently deleted!

Wtf never heard of that :P But seems really useful. However, u will only be able to use half of the original amount right?
