I've been reading up on Raids today. I think that I should invest in a drobo, is this a good option for safely backing up my data? It doesn't need to be wireless. I'd like to be able to access the data fast though.

Do you need to have it available to multiple systems?I've been reading up on Raids today. I think that I should invest in a drobo, is this a good option for safely backing up my data? It doesn't need to be wireless. I'd like to be able to access the data fast though.
The above would apply to you as well.i was considering a DROBO as well, until I realized its actually a big external scalable storage device.
For backup I went with two external firewire drives, and Superduper software. One is connected to the iMac and the other offsite. Every two weeks or so i just switch the drives. If and when I get close to filling them I'll buy bigger drives.
Oh the dlink in my signature , is for my windows workstations...
I've got two dual-bay Icy Dock Firewire enclosures. These will do RAID 0, 1, BIG and JBOD. I like them because they're screwless and easy to swap out drives. The internal fan speed is adjustable, which is also nice.
