Hello Everyone,
Thanks to everyone who helped me to learn about RAIDs, starting at the end
and working backwards :)
I brought my system back up, minus the raid0 partition that was corrupted.
My question now is what's the best way to back up my server? Basically, I
have one more (software?) raid1 array, a cluster setup on 5 subnodes (but I
don't see any of their data here, so prob just all scratch and OS space),
and then a hardware RAID controller (10.54.1.100) attached to 2 raid setups
(scratch, apps, and data as one setup and then last week we added the shacks
as a seperate 12TB array. It came as a RAID, but I think we had to decouple
it b/c our OS couldn't read it), and then we have the computer with mounts
referencing our main Windows server (10.1.1.17), which is backed up by our
Windows guy.
Should I use the empty shacks as backup space?
I hope that all makes sense. If not, please let me know. I really want to
back up and ensure thsi never happens again. Thank you!
