Dell 9200 and Data Safe
I have a small business client, a few months ago she purchased a new Dell 9200 on my recomendation but DID NOT get the Data Safe feature, she said her husband wouldn't let her spend the extra $. Now I think I could convince her that it would be a good investment, or at least a second HD in a RAID 1 (mirror) configuration. My question: Can I add the data safe feature? If so, can I do it without upsetting her system as it took me close to 10-12 hours of transfer and configuration to get her moved onto the new system and everything updated and installed. We don't want to go through that again. Also, there seems to be some real issues with backup and restore on these Dell 9200s as they come configured as Raid even with one drive and it seems impossible to do a disaster recovery on these systems, having NO floppy drive. Like when I boot the Norton Ghost 9 recovery CD, it requires an F6 boot to load the RAID drivers and she does not have a floppy. I'm quite frustrated with this situation. Maybe I'm out in left field with this but it seems a real problem. I just did a Norton Ghost full backup of her C drive but I'm sure I could not put it back onto a new drive if need be. Help.. Thanks, Gene
