Raid only protects against one specific sort of failure, where an entire disk drive fails. It doesn't protect against data corruption, or system failure, or software failure or any other catastrophes. -- john r pierce 37N 122W somewhere on the middle of the left coast

Anyone care to point out a tutorial?That's a very broad question, so the responses thus far shouldn't be surprising. I suggest reading: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RAID Figure out approximately what you want to do, and come back with any questions.
