Re: Corrupt Access File

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

You are absolutly write:)! I'm using it to keep the system running if a
disk goes down. I also know that I need a transaction to transaction
backup. And I would like to know if a file is corrupt before it is backed
up. I think that will cover all of the bases!

I'm using RAID 5, with daily back-ups.

RAID has *nothing* to do with backups. It is designed to minimize
data loss from disk failures. That is all.

No form of RAID (even RAID 0, or disk mirroring) is a backup
strategy.
