Is there a foolproof way to protect my data on my Drobo storage device?If the Drobo unit is the only source of your data, then that would be considered your "primary" storage. ) While all Drobo storage arrays do protect your data from a single or dual drive failure, in the unlikely event that an additional drive fails before you replace a defective drive, then your data can be lost. Many customers use another separate Drobo product to back up the data on their FS array so that they have two copies of their data at any given time. It all depends on how important this data is to you and/or how easy it would be to rebuild or recreate this data. When most companies back up their data, they store the second (or even a third) copy of the data at a different location. This way, they are prepared to be back in business fairly quickly should something happen to the office or data center. Data on all Drobo devices is intrinsically "backed-up, " but of course that doesn't protect against fire, theft or accidentally deleted files. You can duplicate data from any Drobo product onto any other media through the network or your computer. Many customers attach a second Drobo device to their computer, duplicate the data, and move it to a different secure location (such as another office or home). You can also use DroboCopy or any other backup software program to backup data to your Drobo storage array or from your Drobo unit to another storage device.
