Greetings all-
I just recently built my home server running WHS 2011. Everything is going smoothly so far. My storage drives arrived this week, and so I am trying to determine the best way to set-up my back-ups and storage. The primary purpose of the server is back-up of 2 home laptops and media storage/itunes server.
I have (1) 500GB HD acting as the OS disk that WHS partitioned automatically.
The storage drives will be (2)x 2TB HDs. My initial thinking was to use one of the 2TB drives for data storage and back-ups and have the second 2TB drive mirror to add some redundancy.
Would this be wise? If so, what should I do with the ~400GB partition on the OS drive?
Very open to suggestions as to how best allocate the drives and storage space.
