ok. i really need to unsubscribe from this thread.... i think my settings are set to subscribe by default (might be time to look at those)...
anyway, i hate to sound like a raid freak, but raid also offers the option of a parity disk (where a drive is dediicated solely to checking againt data corruption and other such mishaps)... and like i said, raid is not to be subsituted for backing up but when coupled with a proper backup system offers GREAT benefits for open file applications, just the abilitiy to be able to remove a disk from the array and backup from that would allow you to make a perfect backup without interruption of the system.
obviously there are many solutions, but uness you are a making huge (maybe 10+ million) a year, most of them are out of our reach.
