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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
