Hi all,
pretty much a newbie here so be kind ;). Basically I have two x 250gb drives in the NAS and they are in RAID configuration (RAID 0 I think so the drives are mirroring each other and total volume is 250Gbyte).
So the quesion is do I need to do any maintenace on this drive?? I intend to do regular backups once have the data in some sort of order (loads of photos and home movies as well as University files). Do I need to defrag or anything? If so How?
This might be a daft quesiton to a lot of you, but I don't know if maintenance is required? I understand that Raid 1 is mirrioring and is a way to protect against hardware failure (hard drive) and data loss where both drives have the same information. I know I should back up regularly (been meaning to do this :-\), but is there any other things (maintenance) I should be doing??
Anyone recommend a good software to back up the NAS (all of it or only specified directories) to my PC and also DVD's?
cheers
