Greetings,
I need to build a file server for our marketing departments documents
and images.  I want to use Freebsd.  Since the data is large, and
backups would be difficult I was wondering if RAID would be a solution.

I thought that RAID 5 would be the ticket, but after reading up on it,
maybe not.

Isn't RAID 5 the one where if a disk fails, you plug a new one it and it
regenerates the lost data ?

thanks,
Darryl
