Hi.  I need to have a backup system for my 160MB file server hard disk.
A couple of questions:

- Is "mirroring" of hard disk data onto an external backup drive possible?
- How effective/reliable is it?
- Do the internal and external drives need to be the same size EXACTLY?
- What s/ware h/ware combination works best?


Are removable cartridge hard drives or optical drives available in 160MB size?

- What is the recommended removable disk system?  My need in this case is to
use the removable cartridges/drives for sending large graphic data files 
overseas by courier than over expensive telephone connections.  These would
be mostly 24-bit color images scanned in or designed in Letraset s/ware or
Photoshop.

Your suggestions and recommendations are extremely valuable to me.

Thank you.
