So I've recently rebuilt my server after loosing a 500GB backup drive; which after trying to recover the data somehow destroyed the ability to mount or even format any other drives... Yes I know having a single backup drive isn't the smartest.

Now I've got things setup in a nice mirror, with another backup drive ready and another that I will be using as an image drive.
I'm also setting up another server to be used as data/media storage. Nothing special, and not much space, but secure. I've got 4 80GB drives installed with a RAID 5 setup.

Main server is running a standard LAMP (Linux,Apache,MySQL,PHP) setup, along with mail and print. Configured as the internet gateway/firewall, along with everything else, its back up running stable... Now there's just some reconfiguring to do to make it more secure.

Secondary server will be setup with just samba, as it will be used to store all my files. There will be no direct internet access for this machine, to keep things even more secure.

On the list of things to get is a new case to keep all the drives cooler than they are (which is pretty decent for being in my place). Other than that I think things are pretty decent with my setup.... until I break something else. :-)
