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?
