maybe the words backup and raid were a bad choices. Currently (in my setup) if 2 drives or more fail, then I cannot recover the data drive that failed through parity check (as I only have one parity), but the excellent feature of unraid being the other data drives still contain all there data and should be fine to access and use. So for a share to be mirrored over the other drives making that share for this scenario a much safer bet on the data being safe from this failure. Also looking at a feature set with something like this you could get improved data transferring out of the server utilising the increased data throughput of parallel access possibly.

Thanks I understand that I was using it as a example of the functionality not the underlining systems.

Hi, Hope this is not a duplicate. But I have a server setup and would like a backup share that mirror copies all the content over several hard drives. In-effect making a raid 0 on that share content. This is due to the content being of a high importance and more copies is required for more redundancy (I know the parity is there). But if two hard drives fail (in my current setup) then the content could be lost. With this setup I could have all share hdd have this content. At the moment my solution to to have a backup share for each drive and then have a tool (script) copy the content to the other backups for each hard drive. Is this something possible with a plugin or feature request? Thanks.
