Call me kooky

I had it in my mind to make a raid1 (mirror) drive in the server for backup but was a bit concerned about recovering things if bad stuff happened.  Turns out if you lose a disc you can “stop” the array, then mount the good disc normaly.  Running mdadm’s resync command fixes up the new disc nice n’ easy too.  I’ve heard software raid is just as easy on windows but I question it.
