Hi

On all our shared hosting servers we use RAID 10 with 6 x 2TB disks and 1GBps private backup link to backup servers.

Now we want to setup a new backup server.

What is your recommendation on backup server with 1Gbps backup network and 6 x 2TB disks.

Should we setup RAID 10 or RAID 0? Does backup server actually require that much right speed as backup network usually does around 50MB/s more or less. Note it will be using NAS.

I would suggest RAID 10 if you can afford the same. About the right speed, you can downgrade the network link speed.
