disk recovery

[JJB]

Even considering repairing an damaged HD as an method to replace
backups is an stupid thought. People who do not backup critical data
are fools. There is no price tag one can put on critical data. You
find some way to backup to flat compressed file format and write to
an removable HD or CDROM or some free web hosting site, BUT backup
your data now. There is no substitute.

Subject: disk recovery

Hi,

I have a personal server with 400Gb of hard disks in various shapes
and
sizes.  I don't have enough money for redundant disks, and I would
like
to know what the most efficient way of making sure my data doesn't
get
lost, in case of a hard drive failure.  The best would be for some
sort
of recovery if a disk goes south for the winter.

On this note, what's the best way of recovering data when a disk
does go
bad.
