I am going the other way with mirroring. It is less efficient in drive
usage but even if you lose the array, you only lose that block of
data. (one drive's worth)

I guess I am simple... I have three external drives, all have all of my
work and files, don't back up systems and programs, don't steal them,
have the install disks and if I have to rebuild I like to start from
scratch anyway... I do have one cloud account for two folders of
recent artwork and business files too... but I really don't know much
about it, I put stuff in, it backs it up at night... Supposed to be
always there for me, I sure hope so

I guess if you don't have a lot of stuff, rebuilding the system from
scratch is not that bad but I have a lot of things running and
configuring all the apps is a PITA. You may not even realize you
forgot to load one until you try to use it.

On a windoze system you should have a C: drive image that is not too
old, even if you do have RAID.
I am still pretty unimpressed with Windoze backup.

Yeah, I run about a dozen or so programs but I will take a week or two
to rebuild when I do.

Well, I suppose if you are unemployed and have nothing else to do,
wasting a "week or two" rebuilding the contents of a computer drive is
at least something to do, eh?

Rebuilding clears the registry and gets rid of other nasty boogers that
contaminate Windows.
