I would trust backing up to CD/DVD media more than backing up to a RAID config.

I think quite a few poeple made it clear that RAID is not meant as a backup tool...


hopefully the OP listens

Sometimes no matter how clear you make it some fvcktwats don't listen.

<--finsihed a pc redo for a company that didn't do backups regularly...

they didn't lose everything but lost about 7 months worth of work, and the harddrive was beyond repair. Some cache error screwed up everything on it. All I picked up using software was a few htm files all of which were useless.

In the end they were able to recover due to hard copies and such, so they weren't willing to shell out for driver recovery services for a few Gs, but they still had a lot of work to do to get back on track....

I think they learned their lesson...hopefully not at too high a cost
