Raid installation help

by jitorres61 . Updated 17 years, 11 months ago

We have a small Accounting office with a Dell that has two 250gb drives; “C’ and “D” respectively, with Windows XP Home. I would like to install a RAID to mirror one drive to the other, the reason is in case one drive fails the other would still work until I replace that drive. Is this correct?
My question is how do I do this? I am A+ and N+ certified but I have never attempted this before so if you can be a little specific and in laymans terms please.
My second question is, I would like to back up all information from my office to my home via the internet on a daily or weekly basis in case something tragic as a fire happens in the office. Again, I have never done this so if you can help be specific and in laymans terms. I do have a backup but it is an eternal 250gb drive that I am not confortable with and its in the office. Thank you for all your help.
