The Ten Tips of Raid Loss Prevention

The Ten Tips of Raid Loss Prevention

1. Schedule regular backups.
2. Perform regular backups.
3. Verify that your backups are functional – we refer to this as a fire drill.
4. Store at least one of the backups somewhere away from the office.
5. Leave your server in an environment free of humidity, dust and smoke.
6. Use power surge protectors.
7. Use anti-virus software and update it frequently to scan and screen all incoming data and emails with attachments.
8. Handle your server with care and protect it from mishandling.
9. Turn off your server if it makes any unusual noises. Do not re-initialise if there is a failure and you are unsure of the nature of that failure.
10. Dissuade both staff and volunteers with good
intentions, but lacking server knowledge, from doing DIY upgrades or trouble shooting - data human error can be unkind to data.

IT’S A RAID! Take command of the situation. Note the following advice:

§                       Do not panic.

§                       If a drive is making unusual mechanical noises, turn it off immediately and get assistance.

§                       Do not replace the failed drive with a drive that was part of a previous RAID system.

§                       Have a valid backup before making hardware or software changes.

§                       Try to restore the backup to secondary system rather than the failed system.

§                       Do not run volume repair utilities on suspected bad drives.

§                       Do not run defrag on suspected bad drives.

§                       Do not attempt to repair the failed device or array.

§                       Label the drives with their position in the RAID array and
