When I first started in Linux and found out about RAID, I setup RAID 1.
THEN, unfortunately, the way I play with my system, I found RAID to be very detrimental because I accidentally messed up where I could not boot.
THAT meant my partner drive was also messed up.
So I took of RAID and every night I manually run "rsync" to keep the two drives in sync.
Another question - can you give me an example of what your rsync lines look like? If I were to go the same route as you (which I haven't fully decided yet), what options would I use to rsync my root directory over to the backup drive? I am thinking that rsync -avr --delete / backupdrive(meaning the proper thing here) is probably just too simple and will probably miss some things, but I do not fully understand why. I have read through the manual, and continue to study it to understand all the options, but some examples would help.
