disk recovery

[John Oxley]

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.
