PHOTO-TIP-FRIDAY :: BACKING UP YOUR BACKUP

Hey Gang, This week I had a hard-drive fail on me I was fortunate that I had a backup drive.  The problem is every time I update a drive I need to do the same update to the backup drive.  Well I did some research and found out there’s a system out there that will save me all…

Good article, but RAID 1 has long been considered risky due to only the mirroring of data without parity calculations.

Raid 10 would best be suited and accomplished with 4 drives. This Raid 10 is actually a combination of Raid 1 and Raid 0. You end up with a mirror of a stripe.

worth looking into.

What is RAID10?

RAID10 is one of the combination of RAID1 (mirroring) and RAID0 (striping) which are possible. When N mirrored pairs are striped together this is called RAID10 because the mirroring (RAID1) is applied before striping (RAID0). A RAID10 system each and every disk block is completely duplicated on its drive’s mirror. Performance-wise, RAID10 are fast even during recovery.This give us the most bandwidth out of a limited quantity of drive while at the same time having complete fault tolerant data.

Guest Reader, WOW!!! Thank you so much for taking the time to write all this, I’ll admit that its over my head! *lol* but it does seem to be a better backup solution.

Awesome idea Bassem!. Made me wish I was there!

DebApril 27, 2010 - 8:49 am

I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!

Jodi Leigh DesignsApril 27, 2010 - 1:30 pm

Great idea! Oh and Bassem {Booth}, what a cute name. It is nice to see someone out here in the west end keeping up with the trends in the city! Have you considered personalized backdrops??? Are the booths at the reception location. What do you charge for a booth? I have a couple of clients in mind. Here’s hoping to work together in the near future.

zeenatApril 27, 2010 - 3:38 pm

I don’t think you understand how much me and my friends regret not getting up to do this!!!!! :’( lol Well your pictures, as always, turned out great! It’s really refreshing to see a photographer who doesn’t just rely on the equipment to produce amazing shot after shot, but employs technique as well as a certain inherent talent to really make the picture (which a lot of people can’t do!). These pictures have an effortless Scott “the Sartorialist” Schuman vibe to them, well done!! It does help when you have an amazing couple like Jeanette and Pat to work with though! hahaha

JennyApril 27, 2010 - 6:48 pm

I want to rewind to November and have this at our wedding! Just awesome Bass!

SarahApril 27, 2010 - 8:31 pm

That was soooo FUN! I love it!!! Great work Bassem!

Bassem WahbaApril 28, 2010 - 9:04 am

Thanks Kathy, it was such a great time!

Thanks Debi!

Thanks Jodie! I was thinking about doing the personal backdrop but I think I like the white better. This is just a service that Im offering my couple right now. Its exclusive to be a {BASSEM} bride! *wink*

Hey Zeenat, actually I do understand and I regret it too! Its like you’ll regret more the photos you didn’t take than the ones you do. Maybe next time!

Hey Jenny, Call me girl! I have some news for you! *wink*

Thanks Sarah, it was really fun but the couple had warned me that they thought maybe thier guest wouldn’t be into it. Boy were they wrong! *LOL*

JOSEYMay 3, 2010 - 9:14 am

very cool idea!! love it!

LindaMay 3, 2010 - 7:52 pm

LOVE IT BASSEM!! Looking forward to discussing the possibility for my wedding in October!

SandiMay 5, 2010 - 8:41 pm
