PA2001 0 Posted January 14, 2012 Running a 1480 with on version 8.5. Is it possible to record data simultaneously to the internal hard drives on the computer and to a network attached storage box (at the same time)? Trying to get duplicate the data in case of hard drive failure or loss. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jeromephone 6 Posted January 14, 2012 would it be better to run some level of RAID that would write the data to different drives. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PA2001 0 Posted January 14, 2012 The goal is to try to record 2 copies of the data at he same time in two different locations. Is this possible with the 8.5 software or thru Windows 7? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chesterfield 0 Posted January 14, 2012 You can use drive mirroring in Windows 7 to have the same data stored on two drives. Its a bit like software raid 1. Now if one of the drives were an iSCSIor eSATA, then you could mirror a drive within the machine with a drive external to the machine too. Heres an article on drive mirroring within Windows 7 (only available in professional or above): http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/17926/use-drive-mirroring-for-instant-backup-in-windows-7/ hope this helps. Edited to add: If one of the drives is an external iSCSI or similar then you could have raid within that, adding an extra level of redundancy protection of you really wanted.
