Hello community,

I recently bought a computer build-yourself.
My question is what is the best way to mirror or save files on the two hard disks at the same time?
I know there is a way in diskmgmt.msc, but I can't seem to make it work.
Spec:
Windows 7 Professional 64 bit
8 GB ram ddr3
2 x 1 TB hard drive

a poor man. Backup should be stored outside the computer content. Or
use a service like Carbonite Online backup.

What is raid? A large number of people I know use raids.

RAID 1 (mirroring) is not a backup solution. RAID 1 uses two or
Several readers, each one duplicate of the other, to provide redundancy,
no backup. It is used in situations (almost always inside)
companies, not in homes) where any city cannot be tolerated.
because the way it works is that if a disk fails the other takes
more seamlessly.

Although some people thing of RAID 1 as a backup technique, it is
what it is, because it is subject to a simultaneous loss of the
original and many of the main dangers facing the mirror
your data - serious power, close to the lightning seeds, virus
attacks, stolen computer, etc. Most companies that use RAID 1
also have a solid plan of external backup in place.
