Move from a drobo to 2011 Need backup plan......

was going to use 2011 & backup to the drobo.

Does this keep me safe from losing a drive?

 

-------PC info-------

Using N54L Microserver

Only using 4 lower bays

 

4tb 

OS 232gb

700gb

1tb 

4tb Not used

700gb Not used

 

Old Drobo is plan to use as my storage for any backups.

*** Drobo Storage is 3x 2TB & 1x80G lol.

------------------

Issue

-------

All data is on my 4tb right now ---Not backup anywhere---

 

I want to setup my server to where I can lose a drive and I still have my info.

 

How would you set it up

ex: Raid 4tb, Drive Bender, Drive Pool.

Please any info would help.

Here's my backup strategy. If it suits you, you could modify it to use the Drobo as a target, or make any other changes that suit your needs:
