Hi Frank,
I'm no expert, but it seems that using this method, if a file?or files 
is/are 
corrupted, you wouldn't know it unless you checked every few days or so. 
With 
terrabytes of data, that's not possible for me.
Best,
Bob

I know that everyone loves the concept of Raid Arrays....

But a simple question.....

Why use RAID HDD?? Why not simply buy a "few" external USB/Firwire HDD and 
every 
night arrange for them to make incremental backups automatically?? They are 
available up to 2TB, cost about $100-200 each, and seem to be as reliable as 
in-computer HDD.

Use 3 of them.. with every day another drive gets backed up, the other 2 
being 1 
or 2 days old in data......so you have a laddered backup strategy, and 
quadruple 
redundancy.

????

Frank, desperately grasping over the issue himself.....
