Here is the things i want to get out of it. and you tell me what i need.
1)this is the main thing. I want to HD's and i want the first HD mirror to the second one you could say. So like the second one is a backup drive.
2)Want to be able to share files over the net. Ive herd you could do this by having a FTP but i dont know. Let me know )
3)backup method. sumtin like tape drive that can back up the whole HD.

1. So use a board with RAID (
mine for example ) and set the raid to mirror the drives. Thats a common function in raid and a universally used solution in data centers.
2. Set up a linux distro with all the needed deamons or *shudder* use windows 2000 and enable file/print sharing and use the built in ftp server for access by those outside your subnet.
Be a perfectionist in setting this up since it opens you to the outside world.
3.Tape, DVD-R, or removable hard drive will all do the job nicely.
Feel free to ask questions as needed
