<br>
Most of our computers are connected to a Synology NAS with RAID 1 configuration in a private network. The Synology software Active to Backup Business does back up the Windows 7 and 10 computers and Macrium Reflect is used for Windows XP. Backups are run weekly
and several versions are kept for few months. We also have an offline backup of the NAS.<br>
<br>
When a hard drive fails, a new one is installed and the computer can be booted from a recovery media and connects to the NAS to recover a backup. This has saved us from long downtimes few times.<br>

Hi All,<br>
<br>
Yesterday we experienced a HDD failure for our AFM. This event should have been prevented by the Raid Mirror with 2 HDD. Our setup where we just have a single working drive and a spare backup clone has been more successful. We are planning to move away from
Raid Mirror. Anyone has expertise/experience here they can share? <br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
