Hi,

I know that this topic is discussed a lot of in this forum. 
But it is very important, so I think it can´t be discussed too much. 

I´m searching now a few days on the web, to find the best method to backup the 
backuppc server. The external storage should be able to boot from.

1. Add a 3rd Device to the exisiting SoftRaid1. In this method my mdadm monitor 
will always sent an error message for the Raid. So it isn´t the best, I think.

2. Make a snapshot from the filesystem with LVM and copy it with dd to an 
external esata drive. But I read about problems with grub?! 

My requirement is that if the two HDDs in the Server fail, I can boot from the 
external drive without much work. 

My questions are: 
- What is the safer method?
- Which method is better for the pool?
- What do you think, which method I should prefer with 3x 1TB HDDs?

Best regards,
Christoph
