#18 Re: A simple introduction to working with LVM Posted by Anonymous (80.35.xx.xx) on Sun 2 Jul 2006 at 19:30 Once upon a time... there was a customer who relied on his RAID to keep his data safe. "I've got a RAID, dude, I don't need any backup". One day, Windows started doing funny things, so he called a clumsy technician (ok, I admit it, it was me) who ended up formatting the entire Windows partition. There was another partition for the data, but they kept 90% of data on the Windows partition. The technician thought the data was safe on the other partition, or maybe they had a backup. They didn't, and more than 3 years of work were lost. "But it's a RAID! There's still nother disk!". Yeah, but when you format a RAID, you format both disks, man. Sorry. So you better don't trust RAID for backup purposes. Or the wolf will eat you sooner or later.
