I have a 4 Drive, Hot Swappable, External SATA Enclosure with 1+ Tb of storage. My goal is to be able to rotate drives off-site and just plug in (recycle) new drives for on-site backup like very big tapes. I can set it up RAID 5 so that I get parity and hotswap rebuild via the RAID setup, but that doesn't allow for moving data off site. Is there some way to use this new feature (Virtual Disk Autochanger) or some other way to treat the individual drives as really big removable tapes? Is there some other way I haven't concidered? I know that Kern was working on something for hot swap drives from reviewing posts in the archive over the last few months. Has anyone crossed this bridge yet? All hand holding welcome ;) Thanks, David |
