- G'day,
-
- I am setting up a server with 2 x 2.1Gig drives, and was wondering if I
- am better to create more than just one volumn on each disk - the main
- advantages being:
-
- - if there is a power glitch etc and the volume is lost, I only need to
- restore part of the disk.
- - backups are simpler (as 'static volumes' could be backed up monthly)..
- - more structure.
-
- Can someone provide comments please!
-
- Thanks,
- Jeff.
