If you have spent the time to increase your computer'sperformance by setting up a hardware RAID array, you owe it toyourself to invest a little extra time and effort in maintainingthe hard disks in your setup. Following these tips will helplimit the need for data disaster recovery in the future.
1. If you are copying information from an old harddrive ontothose being used in your array, be sure to keep the old diskaround for a while. That way, if you discover any faults orerrors in your raid array, you will still have your originaldata to work with.
2. Make sure you choose the raid level that works best for yourneeds. If you are just in need of faster reads and basicredundancy, RAID Level 1 may be your ticket. This basic levelRedundant Array of Inexpensive Disks ensures against data lossby incorporating 2 drives - one mirroring the other. Althoughthe cost per megabyte is higher, the increase in speed andprotection against data loss are well worth it.
3. If you are setting up a multi-user enviroment, creating a 3or 5 drive RAID-5 array may be your best choice for speed anddata protection. Keep in mind though, if your requirements arewrite performance sensitive, there are better alternatives.
4. If you are trying to decide between a software based orhardware based RAID array, remember, hardware based arrays donot require software to boot, have the logic within them and assuch are much more fault tolerant. Stick with a hardware arrayif you are concerned about disaster recovery planning!
5. Despite the increase in speed and performance using RAIDarrays, files can still become disorganized and corrupted. Besure to run your preferred software for scanning and checkingyour disks on a regular basis.
If you think taking the extra time to follow these tips andcare for your RAID array sounds tedious, take a few moments tocheck out the cost of raid data disaster recovery. That aloneshould make you realize that your efforts are not in vain!

A Tornado? In Birmingham? In The United Kingdom? Unthinkable!Yes, in July 2005 (while I was putting finishing touches to my cave-house in Spain) my house, along with many of my neighbours' houses was struck by a powerful tornado that literally tore up the streets. Leaving people homeless as their homes were bulldozered (with all their possessions inside).Thankfully, my house was still, pretty much intact and won't be being demolished but I work from a home office. I have lots of critical data and information on my computer - marketing information, accounts information, key contacts, books in progress to name a few. If my house was bulldozered (and I didn't have an adequate off-site backup system) I would have lost the lot. As it was, I was still able to access my key files even ...(related: Data Recovery)

Update it to reflect changes in personnel and in the risks you may face.* A good plan will be simple without being simplistic. You can't pla...(related: Data Recovery)

Every person who uses a personal computer will eventually face the challenge of data recovery. Computer hardware and software can be temperamental from time to time. Hard drives and other mechanical components of personal computers and servers do not last forever, and when they fail recovering your data can be difficult, time consuming and costly.If you are working diligently away on a document or spreadsheet in Microsoft Office and the power goes out, you may still be able to recover the documents you were working on when the lights come back on. This type of data recovery is relatively easy and straightforward. Software manufacturers recognize that power outages are inevitable and unpredictable and most office applications incorporate what...(related: Data Recovery)
