Upgrading HD Options and Preventing Dataloss

[ctbo]

Hi

I run a forum and with 5,000+ posts a day preventing any dataloss is really important for me. Unfortunately, I stupidly didnt read up on the best Hard Disk options when I ordered my dedicated server and now realise that I am not as covered as I should be regarding dataloss from disk failiure.

Currently I have: one 160GB SATA & RAID 0

What would be the best option for me? and how much downtime is involved with upgrading/changing?

Also...

The 'Offside Backup' offered by eukhost, I think this is something I maybe should purchase. This backup system all set up by you guys, and its automated after that right?

Thanks for the info.

If you have a x3065 server then there's nothing to be concerned about. We've never had any drive failures till now on the Dell poweredge R200 x3065 servers. our offsite backup plan with 20 GB space should be sufficient for you and you can request our technical staff to configure multiple backups of your database as one backup of static data once in a week or month should be fine, but you need multiple backups of the database.

You will receive daily notifications by email on successful completion of backup.

If you wish to consider RAID1 option with 2 drives then you will need to order a new server and cancel the old server once we get everything migrated on the new server.
