RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) is a technology that combines multiple drives into a single unit to enhance the data storage performances, backup, and increase reliability or resilience. The level of redundancy varies between each RAID configuration. The most commonly used RAID levels are RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 5, and RAID 10.
Generally, configuring RAID might not be an available option for most VPS as it depends on the hosting provider. Most virtual private servers do not offer physical access to the storage system. Configuring RAID is generally handled at the data center level by the server administrators.
If your hosting provider does offer RAID options for VPS, the procedure will depend on the tools provided by the hosting company or the operating system you’ve installed on your VPS. However, in general, you would set up and manage your RAID arrays through the OS, using tools such as mdadm on Linux, or Disk Management in Windows.
So kindly check with your specific hosting provider to confirm whether these options are available, and they can guide you through a specific method to set up a RAID system. Beginners in server management are recommended to seek professional advice to avoid unwanted data loss.
