Title: terminology and state-of-the-art backup
Post by: peteraloha on December 13, 2014, 11:51:54 PM
Love this News item: "News:
Remember, a backup is a fully redundant copy of data that does not share a single point of failure with the master copy! A mirrored set is not a backup unless you have a copy that would survive its loss!"

With my LS-WXLED3, is the best I can achieve a "mirrored set"? Why would I have a mirrored set for a backup?

As you can hear, I am a complete beginner with a NAS, and any links to a manual or simple explanation is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Peter

Mirror offers you redundancy, If one drive fails all your data is still in the other and your unit is still accessible. If you want you can do 2 separate disk but you would be manually coping everything over from one disk to another. If you do a RAID 0 then if one disk fails your data is gone.
