I had a mainboard fail in a box I use as a server, I moved the hard drive into old computer and carried on from there. Now I've replaced the board and intended to set it up using Raid to mirror two drives. However I have been wondering if it wouldn't work just as well to periodically rsync the drive in use with a second drive?
That seems a more direct approach and I could easily check to make certain that the second drive was a usable copy, insurance against loss of data.
Am I going wrong somewhere in my thinking?
