pbxinaflash disk crash

[Steve]

I have been using Asterisk since 2005, when I first learned of it from System Revision 3, Episode 5- Asterisk

http://revision3.com/systm/asterisk/

I started using Asterisk@Home, which was becoming Trixbox at the time.  For the longest time, I used it in a hair-pin configuration on my POTS line to filter incoming calls (read, stop telemarketer calls). 

That branched into trunks to friends and other things.

Somewhere along the the line, there was some security things going on with Trixbox, and I switched to pbxinaflash.

Anyway, those guys are awesome.  I just read about their double RAID drive failure.  And I know the pain.  Just over a year ago, I went though a bunch of drives.  Seems there were some drive reliability issues just after the Thailand flood.  Anyway, I learned one thing, back-up, back-up and back-up!  

Back a bit further, I was scanning 40 years of magazines a few years ago, and started to have drive problems.  That is when I decided anything like that needs to be on RAID drive array.

So reading about the pbxinaflash disaster, yesterday on my day off I went over to St. Norbert's to clone a drive on a computer I manage over there.

Knock on wood, I haven't lost anything recently.

Anyone else ever learn that bigger drives, just means more to loose? (lol)
