To mirror a server you need at least two hard drives on the system. If you are using software mirroring then you don't need a RAID card but the system will use a lot of resources. If the server is not intensively used, I suggest software mirroring. Hardware mirroring, using a RAID card, is more fault tolerant and easier on the resources.

Mirroring = Raid-1
Buy a second 350gb hard drive, install, then mirror the first one to the new one.
You are of course using Windows Server?
Have fun but be safe!

Do you mean mirror a backup or RAID the entire server from this point forth?
Mirror a backup: Norton Ghost.
RAID it: use a RAID card; RAID-0 is not fault-tolerent. It is simple grouping.

ghost answer suite. it does each and every thing you want. that's a shopper server software. you could set up a agenda to reflect a device each and every so regularly, to a special confusing rigidity. it is going to clone throughout a tcp-/ip connection, peer-peer, and so on. that's an exceedingly useful imaging application. sytamnec will make you purchase a minimum of 5 seats of the software, even with the indisputable fact that that's in elementary words 40 funds a seat. that's truly less expensive for this kind of product
