Here
is what I do:
I
have
two 40GB disks on my server.
They
are partitioned to 3GB and the rest.
On 3GB
partition (c: drive) there are system and program files installed (files
that
can be obtained from other sources).
On the
37 GB partition there are my documents (files that cannot be obtatined from
anyone else, so it they're gone, they are gone forewer). My documents
and
Settings folder is also there.
I
use
software RAID on Win 2000 for both partitions. Had no problems with that in
last
2 years.
c:
partition is small enough to fit onto CD, compressed and Ghosted, and when
it
cannot any more (because ghost saves only used space), then it can store it
on
two CDs.
It
won't protect me against viruses (I use antivirus software for that), but
it
will protect me from hard disk crash (mirroring) that already happened to
me.
And it
will protect me from installing some dodgy drivers that will corrupt
Windows and I'll have to install everything again. (Ghosting). That
happened as
well.
By the
way, I don't store ghost files on CDs, but I have HDD caddies (£10)
and I save
them on external HDD. I found it easier and simpler than burning
CDs.

Nik
