Yes, raid was the way I SHOULD have gone. At the beginning of the project I should have calculated how much storage I would need and realized that the 1tb drive I bought was not going to be adequate. So unfortunately I have two 1tb external drives that have only a single usb2 interface (one was the original drive, one was for the backup) and a 1tb fireware/usb drive that I just bought from owc. So I've bought three 1tb external drives but I'm told I really could not create a reliable raid with them. I should have bought a single box that could have held three drives as a raid. Live and learn.
