Did you know you can have two drives mirroring each other for redundancy (RAID1) of your precious data?
If you add a file to one drive, it automatically copies to both drives.
If one drive fails the other is there for the rescue.
But if you never check the drive health, one drive can die and you wouldn't know until the second drive dies and you've lost everything!
Then what was the point of having RAID1 in the first place?
New feature I'm adding to all ParmaDrives with RAID external hard drives - The custom software will constantly monitor drive health and alert you that there is an issue, allowing you to create an extra backup for safety (alternative was manually checking whenever you remember).
For those that have ParmaSync enabled to their ParmaTwin, they already have offsite backup, so this becomes less critical, but it's still important to restore your redundancy to optimal levels (For those who don't know, ParmaSync with. ParmaTwin is two ParmaDrives that reciprocally sync encrypted data to each other for offsite backups without exposure to relentless cloud fees).
Speaking of optimal redundancy, the "industry standard" is 3-2-1 backup...
3 copies, 2 different media, 1 has to be offsite.
A RAID1 btw is not considered a copy, because if you accident delete data, it's gone on both. You need to delay syncs to a different drive, and keey history. This is what ParmaSync is for - local and remote.
A custom ParmaDrive solution has got you covered and is a big step in deGoogling yourself.
