High guys, I've been looking into the RAID feature in the disk utility. Basically all i want to know is if it possible to use a network drive as a RAID so that my hard drive will mirror onto the shared network drive.



Ps. Im not sure if this is the right place for this, if it isn't just move it smile.gif

In 10.5, it will get amazingly simple due to adding ZFS Pools.

However, in the mean time, what you can do is connect to the network drive and then use rsync to mirror any data that you specify, and then save the script to run in Cron on whatever schedule you specify.

It involves a ton of Terminal stuff, so hope that you are a little comfortable with it.

Read up on rsync to see if that is what you are looking for. It sounds like it is.
