cyberderf Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 Would like to get about 500GB of secured files on my OSX. Which way is the better/safer : 1. Software raid - Make a partition for 500GB on my 1TB hard drive - Create a mirror RAID (along with another exact 500GB HD) in OSX disk utility - Cross my hand it will not crash since I do not know how to recover RAID partition! 2. Versioned backup Do an every night versioned backup with Silverkeeper or iBackup 3. Built-in time machine Use Time Machine, even if I only want file backed up. How much space do I need ? Will it slow down my system. Reliable on a hackintosh ? What is the way to go?

cyberderf Posted January 1, 2010 Author Share Posted January 1, 2010 You can eliminate TimeMachine, since i discovered it is not really advised to use it specifically just for a storage drive. I'm still not decided between the first 2 options.
