Hi Long,
Very few of our tools are networked (or could be networked) for backups to a server, so I recently started using Clonezilla to create clones of all of the tools. Clonezilla is a lightweight bootable Linux build whose sole purpose is to clone drives. Just put it on a flash drive (or CD, for tools older than flash drive support -- first-gen Windows XP and earlier), stick it in the tool, and boot to it. It'll guide you through the steps.
Once I have the clone, I keep the dedicated clone drive in a safe place *and* manually put the clone image on a server in case something happens to the physical copy of the clone.
Best,
Travis Massey

Hi All,
Yesterday we experienced a HDD failure for our AFM. This event should have been prevented by the Raid Mirror with 2 HDD. Our setup where we just have a single working drive and a spare backup clone has been more successful. We are planning to move away from Raid Mirror. Anyone has expertise/experience here they can share?
Thanks,
Long Chang

Hello Long;
We have some systems that are older but still work great and have a legacy
computer. The computer sometimes can not be
upgraded if it also uses older cards such as ISA slots. The limited life
time of spinning hard drives caused us to switch to using
SSD for the older IDE interface drives. Making a duplicate on a second SSD
and keeping the backup in a static bag nearby is
a low cost backup. We have needed to use this a few times and it was
quick and easy to swap it out.
Regards, Tony W.
