Making Backups

Also remember that having a drive mirrored is not the same as a back up. The RAID just protects against hardware failure, but doesnt protect against data corruption, accidental deletion, or virus damage.

Lots of people talk backup, but few have actually tried a full restore. If it is possible, you should try to do a full restore, before disaster strikes so you will have a clear head when you need it.
