I don't have RAID at all. Just three drives being used as /home on |
| 30 |
LVM. I should use RAID but I have a backup that gets done each week. I |
| 31 |
wouldn't lose much even if it crashed and burned badly. The biggest |
| 32 |
loss might would be emails. I think I have gmail set up to save them so |
| 33 |
I think it would download whatever was missing from the last backup |
| 34 |
restoration. I need to check that. |
