[QUOTE="yhoogi, post: 490650, member: 69599"] The files are not in a RAID 5 manner stored. Its done by the fileservice who is storing a duplicated file on a different HDD ; so its similar to RAID 1 but not on drive but on file basis. So you will have all files available in any case. I tried to avoid exactly the problem you mentioned: Some screw up and all is lost. The error you mentioned is gone for about 1 year and was also only caused in case you were continuously working on an open file on the share (e.g. Outlook mail file). For stored files this did not count. The OS is on a dedicated partition, separated from the data to be stored. In case you have a complete crash or want to re-install you have a dedicated entry in the install routine. So no data is lost and all share folders with their individual settings are available. I did it several times due to HW changes. Runs very smooth to my surprise never occured a problem here so far (cross my fingers) Having also a backup system for your clients is something I had to use several times now. Saved quite some time. Only drawback I see is the poor support for MP. There are some issues with TV server installation and DVB-S2 (see other Threads in the forum).
