Is it possible to set up a RAID 1 system so that it mirrors onto three drives? I've never run or setup a RAID 1 system before so I'm hoping someone knows from experience.
The idea behind this is I'm part of a small company that wants to upgrade to a RAID server/backup system. Ideally, we would have a server with three identical drives all mirrored. One would be taken offsite for disaster prevention purposes and brought into the office periodically to be updated. The other two would sit in the server at all times so that they would backup each other incase one goes down and we don't lose a week's worth or work for example. With this system, we wouldn't be at risk of losing data incase a HD fails and we would also have a relatively updated offsite backup as well. Can this be done? From what I know about RAID, this would be the only system that would allow offsite backup as well as mirrored in-office HDs.
