Re: on set p2 backup...

Dylan's comment about RAID 1 made me realize I didn't know how the G-Tech RAID 1 works so I emailed tech support. Here's their reply,

"In the event that one drive fails all data is stored on the second drive and can be accessed through the G-Safe. If the actual G-Safe enclosure failed, these drives could be put into a usb enclosure or into a computer to read the data. Only the G-Safe box knows that the drive is a mirror. The drive will appear as any single drive if you put it into a computer or other device to read. Some devices, like Nas, use special formats on the drives, so you could have problems. The G-Safe is using a standard format that is accessible on any Mac with 10.4 or higher."
