second HD solution on RH9.

morning all.

heres my idea/thoughts, let me know what you think:

I got a single RH9 machine.

two 80 gig WD hard drives.

The /dev/hda HD just has the config files and OS files on it. All user data is stored on a NFS mounted array.

the /dev/hdb was added later and I havent even mounted/formatted it.

to make a full "Mirror" back up of this drive, bootable and all I would have to do a dd. Now if the drive fails i would have the physically change the HD in the server but it should be a complete mirror and boot up fine.

is there any other back up systems I should look at. Would you recommend RH software raid?
