Here's the deal -
After suffering a catastrophic loss of baby pics and movies, having not implemented a satisfactory backup scheme, I'm trying to never go through that again.
I have a dual enclosure from OWC that I have 2 1TB hard disks in. My current thought is to make it TWO partitions (500gb apiece) on each drive, and raid1 the first partition of each drive into a 500gb mirrored timemachine backup. Then have the other 2 500gb partitions (one from each drive) be a repository for my Logic pro session files - super important stuff that WON'T be on my macbook's 500gb internal drive.
The way I see it, that gives me a redundant backup of my laptop's harddrive, spread across two physical external drives, and a 2-disk backup of my stored files...
If I have a hard drive failure in my internal laptop hard drive or one of the two 1TB drives, am I going to have any trouble retrieving my data? Is my partitioning idea ok?
New to RAID and hoping I'm on the right track,
Matt
