I had a RAID system similar to yours back in the day.  I also used a program called Second Copy to send most my files to a separate HD.  However, today, I use an online back up service called Mozy.  Carbonite is one of their competitors.  They both seamlessly back up whichever files you chose to a secured server via the internet.  You schedule the time, resources used, files etc.  The original download can take a couple of days, but then it just saves the changed files and is not noticed.  However, if you need them you have a place ot look.  This also solves the problem of physical destruction of your system such as by a fire etc.

Back in the day, the internet was too slow for this option, but, today I find it gives some piece of mind.  For about $50.00 a year (IIRC) it is bargain.  Wow, I actually worked on non-engine parts of my plane last nigh.  Now the the engine and wings are on, I have to re-visit my toe in of my gear.  It is proving to be a pain as the bolts holding on the axles go through very thick and strong structural fiberglass without any play to move in order to shim the tire a bit forward.  I may have to call the factory for some tips.  It will be my first call to the factory in a few years.

All the best,

Hey! Hey!

Finally got the computer back up and operating - if somewhat unstable
and no longer to be trusted.  Got a new one coming in next week with
two Terabyte hard disc set up in a RAID 1 configuration (one mirrors
the other for better data protection) and it will also have a TB
external back up.

You've got two drives that will have nearly identical serial numbers,
living in the exact same environment.  RAID 1 is a good idea, but you
might won't to consider swapping one out for a different model.  Been
there.  Done that.  My drives were both made by IBM.

I've got to install a rivnut, and then my intake filter will be done.
I've modified the impeller design for my pseudo-supercharger once again
to make it easier to manufacture.  I hope to have it done soon, but it
is hot and I'm a wimp.
