Well I thought I'd solved my back-up issues.
But I was wrong it seems.
I have an early Intel MacPro running 10.6 with 4 hard drives installed.
I have two 1TB hard drives mirrored as a RAID and using TimeMachine to backup the other two Hard drives. This has been working well for around a year so far. Today though, TimeMachine failed to back-up. The two 1TB hard drives (RAID) have disappeared completely and the System Profiler tells me that I don't have a RAID card installed. I know I do have a RAID card.
I have read in various forums about the RAID card battery failing - could this be the issue? or could card have failed? and why can't I see my two 1Tb Hard drives? I have used Disk Utility, Disk Warrior and Data Rescue to see if I can find my two hard-drives and can't.
Has anyone any idea as to what has happened and how to fix it. I find it inconceivable that both hard drives have failed at the same time as the RAID card. Any ideas?
