This is probably the wrong place to ask this, but since there have been a
bunch of discussions of RAID, I thought I'd give it a shot...
No flames please, but pointers would be appreciated.

We're running FreeBSD 2.2.8 on a system with two 13 gig IDE drives, and
we'd like to have them mirror each other.  I can do 'tar -cvpf - -C / / |
tar xpf -C /bak' every night (the second drive is mounted on /bak and has
identical partitions), but that won't remove files that have been deleted
from the main drive.  Am I right in assuming that there's already a simple
solution out there in FreeBSDland?  For example, is there a software-only
version of RAID that works on IDE drives?

TIA,
Dan
