I am currently running a P5Q-e Motherboard and have one 320 GB WD aaaks drive
What I intend to do if at all possible is a few variations input and help would be greatly appreciated.
What I would really like to have is the drive I am currently using backup in best/fastest way at least weekly.
Prefered to have my current install OS on one partition of another drive, drivers on same disk although another partition. Next drive would be partitioned to have paging file one one part, games and all else on other part.
When complete would like to have all this data in full backed up to drive currently using in case have to format/rebuild
Anyway generally looking for speed/stability/safety/security for current data
I know option 1 would be raid 1 mirror for backing up but to do this properly have to format current drive correct?
option 2 would be get 2 new drives mirror them and use this one as backup and just manually transfer files over.
Anyway sorry for confusion and lots of thoughts but any help would be greatly appreciated thanks.
