Hey all,
I just bought a new 200GB drive to complement my 80GB primary drive. Because I'm paranoid, and until I can afford enough of these things to get hardware-based RAID 5 set up, my thought was to create an 80GB partition on the new drive and mirror it to my main drive through software. Thus, I'll always have a backup.
Do any of you know some particularly good software to do this? I'm pretty certain I can't use XP's built-in RAID mirroring because i'm only using a partition, not the whole drive, but please correct me if I'm wrong. I played around on download.com a bit, looking at what's available, but nothing seemed like exactly what I need. So I'd love any suggestions 🙂
Thanks in advance!
