[G4] Backup Strategies

[sr ferenczy]

open up os x's Disk Utility, select the "RAID" tab, drag the icon of 2 
harddrives (from the left hand list) into the box where it says "drag 
disks here" and then select "mirror" from the top drop down menu. 
finally, click "create" in the lower right.

***note*** this will delete all the data on both drives!!
