replacing drives in a terastation or readynas? benefits of tape in a nas?
Has anyone created a 2-disk RAID0 or RAID1 array in a terastation,
readynas, or similar, and then pulled the drives out, put them in offsite storage, and replaced them with 2 new drives? If you haven't, do you even know if it's possible? Basically i'm trying to simulate the benefits of tape in a disk to disk solution. In detail, I'd like to make 2 seperate volumes in the device. I want to use volume #1 for incremental backups, then when a weekly full comes around, do it on volume #2. Repeat every week until volume #2 is full with weekly backups (1 months worth for the sake or this example). Then I want to take the 2 drives of volume #2 out, put them in offsite storage, and replace them with 2 brand new disks configured for the same RAID type, then start the process again. In this scenario I would want to rotate about 3 sets of 2 disks in and out. So then i'd have 2 months worth in offsite storage and up to a month onsite. Eventually i can add another set which can contain quarterlys and so on. What do you think? Thanx, -Tony |
