Duplicating recorded data

Recommended Posts

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.

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?

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):

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.
