So recently you may have heard that iTunes is now technically illegal in the UK as it is capable of ripping and burning CD's that contain copyrighted material. Turns out backing up ANY computer that contains any form of copyrighted content (Music, films, images from da web etc, legal or illegal) is also now banned.
So here's a thought. What about RAID?
For the people that dont know about RAID and are here for the read, Here is how raid works: RAID 0 – StripingRAID 0, also called striping, can be used for two or more hard disks or SSDs. The goal is to improve performance. RAID 1 – MirroringRAID 1, also called mirroring, is used to create an automatic copy of your data. RAID 1 writes your data to two separate disks, and if one fails, you still have all of your data available on the other one. The drawback is that you loose half the capacity. RAID 0+1 and RAID 1+0RAID 0 and 1 can be combined with most RAID controllers. For a RAID 0+1 or RAID 1+0 (also called RAID 01 and RAID 10) array you need at least four hard disks.
Obviously RAID 0 is fine but RAID 1 and 10 make clones of the disc (Mirroring) for redundancy however that technically means your cloning/backing up the disk in real time. Is that technically illegal?
I don't run raid and it's not really a major concern but I thought it would be amusing if out government started raiding data centers
